Message from the Chair

Dear Community Members and Esteemed Supporters,

As Chair of the Quinte Arts Council (QAC), I am filled with immense gratitude for the unwavering support we have received from our community and our generous program funders. Your contributions sustain our organization, enabling us to foster creativity and enrich the cultural landscape of our region.

I would like to extend heartfelt thanks to the City of Belleville, the Parrott Foundation, the Ontario Arts Council (OAC), the Bay of Quinte Regional Marketing Board, McDougall Insurance, and our esteemed patron, Ralph Johnston. Your steadfast support has been instrumental in our ability to deliver diverse and impactful arts programs. Your belief in our mission empowers us to continue nurturing the arts and supporting local artists.

I am also excited to introduce our new board members who will help steer the QAC towards a vibrant future. I am honoured to continue serving as Chair, with Andrea Kerr in the role of Past Chair. Joining us are Rick Moulton as Vice-Chair, Rachael Lidstone as Treasurer, Maribeth deSnoo as Director and Fund Development, Sean Sroka as Director and Community Engagement, and Donna Davies as Director and Arts Education. Each of these individuals brings a wealth of experience and passion for the arts, and I am confident that their contributions will be invaluable.

Together, with your continued support and the dedication of our new board, we look forward to a future filled with artistic growth and community engagement. Thank you for being an integral part of the QAC family.

Warm regards, Brit
