Beth Smith	Welcome to the Canada Arts Connect Forum! Why not tell us a bit about yourself? I’m Beth, and I run the tech stuff around here. Besides that, I also own and operate IndieNorth, a Canadian Indie Business Collective. What’s your name, and what do you do? This reply was modified 107 days ago by Beth Smith.

Bruce Davis	Hi My name is Bruce Davis and I am a professional filmmaker with over 17 years under my belt as an Assistant Director and recently a Producer and Writer. I am currently looking to branch out into theatre – my original passion – by starting up a professional theatre group in Kemptville Ontario. I’ve also rekindled my love of photography which I haven’t explored in over 13 years and now I am always busy shooting anything and everything that strikes my fancy with my Canon 60D and 70-200mm f4 L IS USM lens. I look forward to meeting all of you and chatting with you about art stuff. B

Janice Tanton	Oki! Hello! I’m Janice Tanton. I’m a visual artist working in Canmore, Alberta – originally from Oshawa, Ontario. I have a few awesome projects on the go including “CAMP” which I’ve been working on for almost a year and a half between research, travel, residency and production. I paint, sculpt, film, blog and do installation work. I like thinking big and small and really enjoy meeting other creative folks from many different disciplines. For five years, I worked at The Banff Centre as Program Manager for Aboriginal Leadership. With a very diverse background, and exhibitions here in Canada and Australia, I’ve enjoyed a fruitful career so far and really enjoy cross-disciplinary work. Thousands of years ago, I was in theatre and graphic design. I was lucky enough (or old enough) to be chosen as an Alumna of Distinction from my alma mater. I’m always looking for great collaborative projects that align with my vision. I focus on cross-cultural relationships primarily between indigenous and non-indigenous peoples and community-building through arts process. I’m looking forward to connecting with everyone.
