The Performing Arts Centre has managed to keep delivering value to the city.
Robert Steven
The same can’t be said for the Art Gallery.
They are currently reported to be looking for an interim Executive Director.
Robert Steven was shown the door over what were reported to be differences over the direction the Gallery had taken in the past few years.
There has been no public comment on Steven’s departure; members of the Gallery did receive a letter advising them of the change.
These arms length, tax supported organizations have always been tight-lipped when it comes to internal leadership matters.
I am very disheartened to hear this news. I found Robert to be very eager to collaborate with other arts organizations in the city. A great and congenial colkeague.
