Hidden Canada 2025 Edition: Meewasin Valley, Saskatchewan

“The Beaver Creek Conservation Area, a 15-minute drive south of Saskatoon, closes to the public at 4 p.m. But for a few weeknights from late summer into early fall, about a dozen people can tour the site after hours and feast on a special ‘grazing supper’ along the edge of the creek valley.”

Lord Cultural Resources recently completed a Draft Capital & Operating Plan for the Meewasin Valley Authority to support the organization's long-term planning and investment, and as part of its leadership role in exploring the Meewasin Valley area's potential for designation as a new national urban park. We’re thrilled to see the valley’s growing profile further recognized in this article, naming it one of Canada’s top ten travel destinations around the country to explore this summer.

American Theater Is Imploding Before Our Eyes: What Lies Ahead for the Performing Arts

This summer, Isaac Butler published an essay in The New York Times entitled “American Theater Is Imploding Before Our Eyes.” The publication sparked a lot of conversations among everyone in and near the performing arts. While there was general agreement with that diagnosis, there was far less consensus about the underlying cause and even less agreement about the best course of treatment. Please join Isaac, along with Nataki Garret (One Nation / One Project and Stephanie Ybarra (Mellon Foundation), for a wide-ranging, online conversation about the state of our field, how we got here, and where we might go next. The conversation will be moderated by Jamie Bennett (Lord Cultural Resources).
