Today the pod is visiting our neighbors in Canada! On this episode of The Big Intermission, we're joined by Alex Sarian, the President & CEO of Arts Commons, which is the largest performing arts center in Western Canada. Alex took the position in January of 2020 and has since been leading the organization through a renovation and transformation. Prior to joining Arts Commons, Alex was the Director of Education & Outreach at MCC Theatre and spent seven years in leadership roles at Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts. Most recently, he served as the executive in charge of Lincoln Center's community engagement, consulting, artistic programming for young audiences and families, and the education department.
Alex and I talk about the importance of listening, the ways in which performing arts centers are places for civic dialogue and engagement, and what is next for Arts Commons and the arts scene in Calgary.
