About Rob
I’m an arts marketing practitioner, currently surviving through six-month-long winters in the Canadian prairies. Of particular interest to me is the relationship between culture, communications, and politics.
Having grown up in Atlantic Canada and ripened in Montreal, I made my way to Saskatoon a few years ago where I’m the Marketing Director for the Saskatchewan Jazz Festival, a ten-day cultural celebration that welcomes 80,000 music lovers each summer.
I’m also the editor of Art Threat, a blog on politically-engaged art and cultural policy, which has been mentioned in the New York Times, the National Post, and on CBC Radio.
I’m on the board of directors for the Broadway Theatre, a historic art house cinema and cultural centre in Saskatoon, and play an advisory role with Cinema Politica, an international network of independent film exhibition sites.
In short, I’m incredibly fortunate to work with inspiring people on exciting projects.
When the marketing cap comes off, you’re likely to find me at the ultimate field, cooking vegetarian fare, or staring at the snails in my aquarium.
