Canadian presenters, programmers, and artists interested in advancing the cultural arts, join the Classical and Heritage Arts Initiative (CHAI) on June 26, 2025, from 4:00 to 5:00 p.m. PST on Zoom, and take part in a conversation about how international artists can connect with more communities. Led by Nina Buddhdev, this session will explore engagement models and solutions to strengthen touring infrastructure and cultural partnerships, with the goal of enhancing the programming of international heritage artists through intentional collaboration and strategic planning.

Key Discussion Areas:

• Engaging new audiences through integrated seasonal planning
• Building capacity for synergistic touring models
• Increasing access to international artists through compatible community presenter partnerships
• Exploring shared cost models, cohesive scheduling, and strategic routing

Hear insights from Canadian presenters on successful partnerships, network alignment, and how national planning can expand access to exceptional international artists, moving beyond one-off concerts toward more sustainable and integrated cultural engagement.

Together, let’s build a framework that enables international artistic excellence to reach more communities, in more meaningful ways, across Canada.
