After 11 years of bringing you local reporting, the team behind the Vancouver Observer has moved on to Canada's National Observer. You can follow Vancouver culture reporting over there from now on. Thank you for all your support over the years!
Tom Graff
Tom Graff is an art curator who also conducts and sings, classical to folk "world" musics. Until recently, his writing has been confined to curatorial essays, art articles, performance art scripts, or books on Readers' Theatre (historical quotations in performance in (mostly) museums). He makes a living by curating both in Canada and abroad, teaching voice, with a particular emphasis on "deeply vocal" thinking patterns while physically embodying one's singing or speaking. As well, he has recently found himself coaching artists and musicians how to master the business portions of their careers, from the shaping of their art and public persona, to writing and honing grants and budgets.
