Please join us in welcoming Chris Rea as the new Executive Director of the Salt Spring National Art Prize. He is thrilled to help build an ambitious and sustainable future for the Prize, one with strong local connections and broad reach across Canada.

Along with his young family, Chris arrived on Salt Spring Island in 2022 from the UK. He brings experience from an international career spanning marketing, consultancy, innovation, and research. Building community and connection has been at the heart of much of his work, in business, sport, and now in the arts. He is looking forward to working closely with the board, staff, volunteers, and artists who come together to make SSNAP so special.

Please join us in giving Chris a warm welcome to the SSNAP community.
