The Camrose Arts Society is pleased to welcome Jason Dufresne to the position of Arts Engagement manager.

Dufresne recently returned to Camrose, where he was born and raised, after spending decades teaching ESL (English as a Second Language) in South Korea, Thailand and China.

With a life-long passion for the arts, Dufresne began his formal studies at AUArts (then ACAD) in Calgary in the late ’90s, then attained his Masters degree in these disciplines from Concordia University in Montreal, graduating in 2004.

“Our goal is to increase membership and cultivate a wider-reaching creative community throughout Camrose and area,” said Dufresne of the mission for the Camrose Arts Society. “We aim to build an arts community across all kinds of creative practices.

“Previously, the Camrose Arts Society has focused on the visual arts, mainly painting, drawing and photography,” noted Dufresne

“Moving forward, we aim to develop projects and events that promote the visual arts in collaboration with the broader artistic community of musicians, dancers and writers - basically, anyone with a passion for creativity.”

Dufresne said that Camrose Coffee, (located at 4865 50 Street) has generously offered to be the new home space for CAS exhibitions and events. “We’ll be announcing details about our exciting kick-off event soon. We’ll also be reaching out to businesses citywide to see what’s possible for other collaborative art events in the future.”
