Jini Stolk Creative Fellowship
As the shepherds of successful organizations, arts managers are responsible for the administrative, financial, and overall health of the organization. They are passionate and committed to their work, but often have little opportunity for professional development. The Jini Stolk Creative Fellowship will support arts managers of small to mid-sized Toronto arts organizations to encourage the development of the field of arts management, including organizational experimentation and effective governance through professional development, research, networking and sharing.
Prize:
$20,000 over 2 years ($10,000 each year)

Jaime Martino
“I am delighted and so grateful to receive the second-ever Jini Stolk Creative Fellowship, and I take very seriously the trust and responsibility that this Fellowship represents. Jini cared very deeply about the way that we work together to create art, and I am inspired by her work to challenge and rework systems to make them more human-centred. I am honoured to carry on her legacy, and to use the next two years in this Fellowship as a way to continue her work to make a kinder, more inclusive sector for us all.” Jaime Martino
Jaime Martino was selected from among 16 nominations. With the funds supported by the Fellowship, Jaime aims to bring together stakeholders from across classical music to work together to find levers in their systems to change the culture within them. Her goal is for unions, industry associations, and leadership from major organizations to work together to provide training, support, and accountability to address deep inequities in companies across the classical music sector.
