We’re very excited to finally welcome and officially announce VanCAF’s new Executive Director, Ryan Dyck! Ryan comes to us with years of experience at every level of the local Vancouver arts scene, including a long stint as the label manager at Mint Records. Having known Ryan for over a decade and worked with him professionally for about as long in various capacities, I’m  very excited to have him on board as we work towards building a bigger* and better VanCAF!

*same size, really, but that’s not an expression

Sidenote:I asked Ryan for a photo for this announcement and he sent me this dreamboat picture in response. Please know my personal fawning is limited to the text.

Keep watching for more info about VanCAF 2024 very soon, including the opening of applications!
