Chris’s department manages the public art program, community art, temporary art installations and larger art commissions like Big Head, Touchstone and Altered Group. She and her team define the parameters of the art call, put together juries to select the work, and work with the artist from concept to installation. They also oversee Three Sisters Gallery at Elevation Place, host Pecha Kucha nights, organize National Indigenous Peoples’ Day celebration, the Mayor’s Spotlight on the Arts, the New Year’s Eve celebrations, Winter Carnival, the Canada Day Parade and the Wild Festival.
