The board of directors of Arts Revelstoke has announced the planned departure of Miriam Manley, Artistic & Executive Director, who’s made contributions to significant cultural and artistic development in the community over the past ten years.
Manley is the co-founder and curator of LUNA and LUNA SOUND and has produced eight Art Allery installations in Revelstoke’s downtown core, including Coming Home by Ric Gendron, the first local public art piece by a Sinixt artist.
