Staff Resignation Announcement: Wishing you all the best in your next chapter, Janet! We'll miss you!

Janet Antone, Administrator, Indigenous London Arts, has decided to resign from the London Arts Council to focus on her family and beadwork business (Ms. Antone's Beadwork). Janet joined the LAC team in 2023, and over the past two years, she has passionately guided the London Arts Council's Indigenous London Arts program and service area, further defining it as a distinct area, sovereign in its development. She worked closely with various community partners to provide cultural consultation and opportunities for Indigenous Artists to exhibit their work, build their portfolios, and network with other artists and community members through thoughtful and professional experiences and programming. As a team member, Janet put her heart and careful consideration into advancing the London Arts Council’s Truth and Reconciliation commitments for the local Indigenous communities. She was always there to support her team members with a warm hug, a listening ear, and her great sense of humour. We learned so much from her knowledge and experience regarding how best to support our Indigenous community members and neighbours, and from her example of careful and compassionate guidance. Janet, we will miss you so much and wish you all the best in this next chapter! - ❤️ the LAC team
