The artist and recent ECU grad views British Columbia’s north as a region full of promise for the arts and arts practitioners.

Haley Bassett (BFA 2020) has been named executive director of the Peace Liard Regional Arts Council (PLRAC), following the departure of longtime executive director Donna Kane in early September.

Haley, an award-winning interdisciplinary artist of Métis and Austro-Russian descent from Dawson Creek, BC, joins the PLRAC after working with the Dawson Creek Art Gallery, where she created several new programs, including HeART Walk and the Northern Arts Review.

Speaking with Fort St. John publication Energeticcity, Haley said she viewed the move to the PLRAC as a “natural extension” of her work with the Dawson Creek Art Gallery, adding she is “beyond excited to be stepping into this new role.”
