"We have to Innovate."

BEYOND 2020, EPISODE 5

David Klassen took over programming at the Steinbach Arts Council less than a year before Covid hit. By the beginning of March, he had his very first season lined up for the coming year and was eager to announce it. Then… duh duh duuuuuh! Everything gets thrown into the air.

Since then, David and the SAC staff have been on their toes, working hard to continue to have a place for the arts to be celebrated in a safe and accesible manner.

What I appreciated the most about my conversation with him was that they’re now at a place where there is real, tangible fruit from their efforts. This isn’t something that they can implement “eventually”. They’re doing it right now. And that gives me hope.
