Artistic Instigators

Showcasing the power of creative leadership

Who are Artistic Instigators?

Renaissance Artistic Instigators are an informal group of artists, including jazz, classical and folk musicians; along with storytellers, painters, filmmakers, authors and journalists. Artists in this group are inventing new ways to present their art (painting, sculpture, theatre, music, literature and design) in a manner that inspires and informs leaders in other sectors to strengthen their creative leadership and collaborative skills for unleashing innovation.

These artists are demonstrating the creativity needed to stimulate and support significant transformational initiatives in all other sectors of society, driven by 3 guiding principles:

Challenge

Generally accepted boundaries of thought and behaviour.

Create

New ways of expressing themselves and of describing our ever-changing world.

Collaborate

To address the challenges presented by the new global-knowledge economy.

The instigator is usually a person of energy and vision. In artistic terms the instigator is a crucial stimulus and perhaps the essential component in creating and inspiring others to create.
Patrick Macauley, Former Director of Visual Arts, Harbourfront Centre
