Our event begins at 11:00 am, on the 2nd floor of Koffler House, 569 Spadina Ave
Our featured speaker, Yvonne Tang, is Director of Exhibitions and Events at Lord Cultural Resources, the world’s largest cultural professional practice.
Her clients include museums, art galleries, historic sites, festivals and events. Yvonne’s involvement on projects ranges from initial visioning to design through to opening day. She thoroughly enjoys her work behind-the-scenes at various institutions, and even though she’s been asked before, she is definitely not a spy.
In the current state of the world today – museums and other cultural institutions have a huge role to play. Yvonne will discuss how the role of cultural institutions have changed and continue to adapt today. She will also share stories from some of her recent projects including the opportunities and challenges of working internationally.
For our musical performances we will have Cassie Norton with Patrick O’Reilly. Cassie Norton is the music director of Toronto Oasis and a Toronto based singer-songwriter, classically trained violinist/folk leaning tunesmith with a punk rock heart. She has recorded two full length albums, Little Strength (2009) and Quiet Wilderness (2010). She teaches a variety of private and ensemble classes at Regent Park School of Music, and at her private studio.
Cassie will be performing with her band-mate Patrick O’Reilly on guitar. To RSVP to this event, visit our Meetup page.
