PRETTY GOOD MANDATE – Updated October 9, 2016
To provide a platform that connects diverse creative communities through collaboration, with an acute focus on new music and media.
The Pretty Good Society aims to execute this mandate by:
• Reimagining our urban environment as activated creative terrain
• Reframing our collective concept of “a performance”
• Stimulating and nurturing our community’s appetite for “the other”
The VPGS is composed of individuals who are actively engaged; from composition to production to promotion, each of its five members are direct contributors to the fertility of the city’s creative underground. With knowledge and passion spanning many genres and disciplines, VPGS believes in content, programming and curation.
