Staff & Board

Janna has twenty years experience working in nonprofit, government funded arts organizations, most recently in the roles of General Manager (Youtheatre) and Administrative Manager (Festival Players). Having worked closely with artists over the years, she has a deep respect for the artistic process, and hopes to bring that appreciation and knowledge to her role at the Arts Council. Janna holds a Bachelor of Arts from McGill University and a Certificate in Management from Concordia University. Janna is the Arts Council's first Executive Director and has been in the role since January 2017. She moved to the County from Montreal in 2013, and sat on the Arts Council's Executive Board of Directors (2014-16), and was an Awesome PEC Trustee (2016).

Raised in Prince Edward County, Heather has grown up with an appreciation for the natural beauty of the area and the art created by talented artists in every corner of the County. A background in digital photography, as well as post-grad studies in Museum Management and Curatorship at Fleming College, have allowed her to explore opportunities in Halifax with the Association of Nova Scotia Museums as well as the Tom Thomson Art Gallery in Owen Sound, Ontario. She looks forward to learning more about the wonderfully diverse work of artists here in the County while being with the Arts Council. * Heather's 3-month placement is made possible through the support of the Prince Edward Learning Centre.
