I am an award-winning arts management professional with 20+ years of progressive, multidisciplinary experience in the field. Built on the foundations of best-in-class training in both the arts and business administration, my work is fuelled by a passion for strengthening the capacity of artists and arts organizations to act as champions of cultural vitality and catalysts for positive social change, especially in partnership with underserved communities.I employ a collaborative management style that emphasizes balance to achieve results. I take a direct, objective and analytical approach to the development and delivery of innovative programming underpinned with financial acuity and operational excellence. I mobilize these elements by empowering interdisciplinary teams to achieve our best work together. As one co-worker said “Jason brought integrity, clarity, humour, kindness and the understanding of an artist to his role.” I often do my best work in start-up, turn-around and transition environments, especially where this work involves developing and delivering community-responsive, multi-layered and scalable initiatives that unlock new opportunities and enable key strategic outcomes.
