WORK HISTORY
Co-founder @Artsfile
Ottawa, ON, CA
Committed to the arts, I am the Co-Founder of ARTSFILE. ARTSFILE is what happens when journalists and entrepreneurs join forces to cover and promote the arts in Ottawa. Our goal is to highlight the arts in Ottawa in modern and accessible ways. To achieve this there are two fundamental principles:(1) the arts tell the story of our community and our country; and (2) the role of the arts journalist is one that sheds light on this conversation. ARTSFILE’s excellent team of professional journalists is headed by Peter Robb, writer, and former arts editor of the Ottawa Citizen. Well-respected and insightful arts critics Natasha Gauthier (classical music), Peter Simpson (visual arts), and Patrick Langston (theatre) complete the foundation of our team of journalists.
