For two decades, Julie Fowler has provided leadership in the arts, not only in her home community of Wells, but throughout the province. As executive and artistic director of Island Mountain Arts and founder of the ArtsWells Festival, Julie has worked to establish her community as a nationally recognized centre of artistic excellence while committing resources and time to empowering contemporary Indigenous artists.
To be able to facilitate positive change in a person’s life is the most inspiring and gratifying thing that I have ever been involved with. And when people have had a transformational experience with art, it means that they will understand the value of art in our world. That is truly the best feeling, to know that my work has helped people, even transformed them for the better.
BC Achievement is an independent foundation established in 2003 that honours excellence and inspires achievement in British Columbia.
