    Thank you @CBCEdmonton for speaking w/ me about my decision to step down from @nextfestartsco. I urge others to consider this & reach out to discuss if you’re considering it. If we want to burn it all down, we need to be conscious of who builds it back up. cbc.ca/listen/live-r…

    AN ANNOUNCEMENT FROM THE NEXTFEST ARTS COMPANY⠀ AN ANNOUNCEMENT FROM THE NEXTFEST ARTS COMPANY⠀ ⠀ The Board, Staff, and Curators of The Nextfest Arts Company are excited about the future of Nextfest as we announce that we will be hiring a new Festival Producer. After ten years with the festival and seven years as our Festival Producer, Maggie Barton Baird @mbandcompany has decided to transition out of this role to create room for new energy and perspective. We are inspired by her decision and are grateful for this opportunity to make space for IBPOC leadership within our festival and the Canadian arts community. ⠀ ⠀ In her tenure as Festival Producer, Maggie has navigated incredible obstacles including producing the 2015 Festival after the fire that engulfed the Roxy Theatre on 124th Street (the main festival venue); transitioning from former Festival Director, Steve Pirot, to current Festival Director, Ellen Chorley, in 2017; and most recently presenting a completely digital online version of Nextfest this past June. Maggie has been a strong advocate of creating a safe space for community gathering within the festival. She has spearheaded many initiatives to make Nextfest accessible to emerging artists and audiences alike including leading the development of The Nextfest Arts Company’s Safe(r) Spaces Guidelines, engaging with the Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing communities of Edmonton through her work with NICA Consolidated, and working diligently to champion community engagement. Her leadership has brought necessary change for The Nextfest Arts Company in accessibility, inclusivity, and accountability. ⠀ ⠀ “I am immensely grateful for the experience and growth that this role, this team, and the artists we work with have provided me over the past ten years. Nextfest has truly changed my life, and it has been the greatest opportunity of my career. I am excited to see the next generation take over the position with new energy behind emerging artists, especially those from the IBPOC community. Simply put, I feel it's time for me to get out of the way.” - Maggie Barton Baird, outgoing Festival Producer⠀ Read the full announcement on our website, a job posting will follow next week. Love, The Nextfest Arts Company.
