Balancing the unique needs of the local community with the evolving culture of diversity and inclusion, the organizers generated both a new brand image and a line-up roster that matches the natural beauty of the venue and the colourful community connections they witnessed at the summer events.
Performances in the Park is a gem in the landscape of arts and recreation in Williams Lake. The audiences are multi-generational and form all parts of the community. We share talent form all over the province, sometimes the world. This FREE and family friendly event is just the thing for a summer evening with friends. Managed by the Community Arts Council, the series is presented by the Central Cariboo Arts and Culture Society, and is financially supported by the City of Williams Lake and the Cariboo Regional District. Are you a dynamic performer looking for a sweet venue this summer? Read on to learn more….
CACWL announces vacancy for the President of the Board of Directors this October. Marg Evans, President for the last six years, is stepping down, and CACWL is looking for new leadership from the community. Leading an organization like the Community Arts Council is an exciting opportunity, a task, Evans ensures, where transition would be supported by herself and the existing Board and staff. She would like to be accessible to the new leadership, passing on her valuable experience and know-how. Evans has invested and dedicated her time in the last several years to set up procedures, policies and management oversight of the CACWL. These set the organization up with a healthy foundation to build on, while CACWL Coordinator and Programs Manager, Venta Rutkauskas, brings significant experience in the daily running of the organization.
