Pierre Arpin Steps Down as Director & CEO of Contemporary Calgary

We would like to thank Pierre Arpin for his leadership and commitment to Contemporary Calgary and share that Pierre will be stepping down as Director & CEO effective August 17, 2018.

Over the past two years that Pierre has been with Contemporary Calgary we have had an ambitious and successful public program with more than 2,400 participants in the first year; we secured multi-year operating funding from Canada Council and confirmed an 18.4% increase in Alberta Foundation for the Arts funding for 2019. 

Contemporary Calgary is now moving into a new phase of our evolution that requires building project management skills as we shift our focus to next steps in our Centennial Planetarium project.  We thank Pierre for his leadership over the past two years and wish him success as he continues his journey.  

Pierre is a principled and ethical leader who has managed our planned transition well.
