REIMAGINING

What does it mean to reimagine? Maybe it's a creative disrupting form, genre or expectation. Maybe it's a visionary building new pathways where non existed. Maybe it's a leader reshaping the cultural landscape itself. Who comes to mind? 

This year we're celebrating those who are reimagining our creative community - artists, cultural workers, organizations, and visionaries shaping what's next.
