Tricia Baldwin, the director of the Isabel Bader Centre for the Performing Arts, takes pride in offering audiences a diverse mix of world-class artists and socially engaged performances. Performing arts events such as those about the Indigenous residential school experience and musical acts from around the globe expose audiences to different cultures and perspectives, which Ms. Baldwin says helps contribute to a more inclusive society.
카지노 게임 컬렉션With socially engaged art, you are actually bringing in a point of view of an under-represented group to the majority,카지노 게임 컬렉션 Ms. Baldwin says. 카지노 게임 컬렉션The Isabel is a very beautiful place to share music and ideas. It can help create a more knowledgeable and better society.카지노 게임 컬렉션
A recent $3.5-million donation will allow the Isabel to offer more programming that fosters that inclusive environment. Marjorie Ernestine Bernstein made the gift to Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s in honour of her late daughter, Jennifer Velva Bernstein, Artsci카지노 게임 컬렉션89.
Jennifer Velva Bernstein loved the arts and was passionate about social causes. She earned film degrees from both Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s and Webster 카지노게임사이트 in St. Louis, as well as a Master of Social Work from Washington 카지노게임사이트 in St. Louis. She died in a bus crash in 1995 while on a humanitarian mission to Haiti organized by the People to People Project, a private charitable group.
카지노 게임 컬렉션We are so grateful for the Bernstein카지노 게임 컬렉션s family카지노 게임 컬렉션s belief in the Isabel and belief in the role of arts in society,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Ms. Baldwin. 카지노 게임 컬렉션Our philosophy of programming and inclusion matches Jennifer카지노 게임 컬렉션s efforts to try to make this a better world.카지노 게임 컬렉션
In recognition of the gift, the Isabel카지노 게임 컬렉션s main 566-seat performance hall has been renamed the Jennifer Velva Bernstein Performance Hall.
The Isabel will use the gift to support artistic programming and educational training at the centre, including covering the costs to bring more top performers and emerging artists to Kingston. It will also help subsidize tickets and events, allowing people to enjoy more festivals such as Ka'tarohkwi Festival of Indigenous Arts and the Isabel Human Rights Festival and student initiatives through the MyIsabel Alma Mater Society program such as and the Project Afro-Odyssey.
Ms. Baldwin feels it is important for students to carry that value of diverse programming into their future careers.
카지노 게임 컬렉션I believe that a university has the ability to communicate to its students that the performing arts have worth beyond entertainment,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Ms. Baldwin. 카지노 게임 컬렉션By producing, presenting, or attending socially engaged arts on social justice topics, students learn that artists can be creative initiators and champions for social change. This enables them to see the possibilities for their own participation and roles in creating a fairer world when they graduate.카지노 게임 컬렉션
