The Community Arts Council (CAC) of Prince George & District has a new Performing Arts Manager.
The organization appointed Shelby Richardson for the role.
According to a release, it is a new position, created to facilitate the organization’s expansion into the performing arts sector of North Central BC.
Shelby will be tasked with leading the presentation of live performance events at local venues, notably the new Knox Performance Centre and the Prince George Playhouse.
In addition, the local arts council will be collaborating with other arts organizations on presenting touring soloist and performing arts groups, bringing top-tier talent from across Canada and beyond to Prince George.
“While the CAC is highly recognized for its visual arts programs, events and services, it originated 55 years ago in the local performing arts community and we are so excited to now be evolving again to become a major performing arts presenter for this area of the province,” said Eli Klasner, CAC Executive Director.
“We have been working hard over the past few years, laying the foundation for our plans to be a performing arts presenter, and we feel absolutely blessed to have such a talented individual as Shelby leading us into the first of hopefully many seasons of presenting national and international talent here in Prince George.”
The CAC will be announcing its fall performing arts series over the coming weeks.
