The Board of Directors of the Electric City Culture Council (EC3) is very pleased to announce that Hannah Keating has been appointed as Artistic Producer of Artsweek 2018. Artsweek is Peterborough’s biennial festival of the arts and takes place from September 21 – September 30 2018.
Ms. Keating brings a wealth of arts management and project planning experience to this position. Keating served as the Winnipeg Art Gallery’s Curatorial Intern of Canadian Art, a position funded by the Canadian Museums Association’s Dr. Shirley L. Thomson Award for Young Curators.
