I Work with Artists:

Connecting With Artists

How deeply are you really connecting with artists? Engage with the Artists Thrive survey to reflect on the quality of your relationships with the creative community—from distant to deeply collaborative. It’s a powerful tool to check in, spark growth, and reimagine how you center artists in your work. Take a moment to explore where you stand—and where you could go next. Whether you're part of an organization or working independently, this reflection can reveal blind spots and inspire stronger, more meaningful partnerships. Artists are essential—how you show up for them matters.

Tell us about yourself.

For 35 years the St. Peters Cultural Arts Centre has supported the arts by providing a location where local and regional artists can grow and flourish in the community; offered educational experiences in visual and performing arts to everyone, without regard to sex, race, age, nationality, or ability; and strived to reach economic goals to ensure art experiences for future generations to come.

What makes you Thrive?

As the Cultural Arts Leader, I thrive when I am supported, respected, empowered, engaged, proactive, transparent, held accountable, focused, surrounded by great teamwork, creative, and happy.

SELF-CARE CORNER

5 things to do instead of doomscrolling


What if your phone breaking was the best thing that ever happened to you? In this witty, thoughtful piece, one writer turns an annoying tech glitch into an unexpected portal to peace, presence, and purpose. As their device forces them offline every three minutes, they uncover small, soulful ways to reclaim their attention — and their sanity — from the chaos of the news cycle. It’s part personal essay, part quiet revolution, and might just make you want to accidentally drop your phone too.
