SPYA is over the moon to welcome Geneviève Doyon as its new Executive Director!
Geneviève Doyon is an accomplished arts administrator and champion of all Yukon creative industries. With 15 years of leadership in the non-profit arts sector, she has been the driving force behind countless projects, festivals and stage productions that toured coast to coast and internationally. She has helped shape strategic visions of many Yukon arts organizations and has built meaningful creative bridges – both within the territory and with the rest of the country.
Additionally, Geneviève’s time with Yukon Government’s Art Section and Government of Canada’s Canadian Heritage has provided her with a deep understanding of funding structures and the intersection of government with the non-profit sector. Before Geneviève focused on performing arts, she studied and worked in film. After completing a degree in Film Studies from l’Universite de Montreal, Gen performed in several short and feature films that have been featured in many festivals, including Festival de Cannes 2012. Behind the camera she has co-created and produced several short films between 2011 and 2016. Gen is honoured and thrilled to be joining the SPYA team to support the growth and well-being of our expanding Yukon film industry.
