We are pleased to announce and welcome Pierre Tetrault, the festival’s new Artistic Director. Pierre brings a wealth of knowledge and enthusiasm to the organization and we are very grateful to have his talent, experience and drive to lead the wide range of multidisciplinary, visual, film and performing arts festivals and events that will make up the 2010 season. “It has been an amazing time here during my early days as Artistic Director of the Abilities Arts Festival. It is an exciting time to be part of this emerging and increasingly self confident scene. I am honored and inspired to be a part of it and invite all the readers to submit any information on artists with disabilities they feel we should be taking into consideration for our activities.” Click here to read Pierre's bio. |
