“It seemed like yesterday when I started,” says Isabel Cisterna, recalling the launch a quarter-century ago of St. Jacobs’ Neruda Arts, a multidisciplinary non-profit arts organization.
What she initially thought would be a short-term project while she got her career in theatre going turned out to have legs.
“Neruda Arts started as a place for many different artists to come together… because we came from other parts of the world… and we needed a place to showcase what we know,” she said, responding to the need for a space where diverse professionals could perform.
