2012 Creative City Summit |
|
The 2012 Creative City Summit will take place October 21 – 23, 2012 in the City of Victoria, British Columbia.
2012 Summit Theme:
Fertile Grounds: Culture in Your Community
On the occasion of the Creative City Network of Canada's 10th year anniversary, the 2012 Summit 'Fertile Grounds: Culture in Your Community' will take a behind-the-scenes look at how communities work with their local governments to be creative, and integrate culture into their long-term sustainability and economic development.
Join us in exploring real stories of how communities are repurposing spaces for cultural uses, taking over abandoned storefronts for artists' studios, developing public art in unconventional places, holding one-night only events, and integrating affordable cultural space into new development. This Summit will celebrate and share how communities are developing new approaches and innovative partnerships in bringing forward fresh ideas to celebrate the stories and histories of the people who live there.
More information on programming details will be available soon. Members of the Creative City Network of Canada receive a discount on registration.

The Fairmont Empress Victoria has been selected as the official 2012 Summit hotel. We are now accepting hotel reservations for our upcoming event.

Municipal Cultural Investment in Five Large Canadian Cities
Hill Strategies Research Inc: A study prepared for the City of Vancouver, the City of Calgary, the City of Toronto, the City of Ottawa and the Ville de Montréal.
This report compares the municipal cultural investment in five of Canada's largest cities: Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto, Ottawa and Montréal. The municipal cultural investments included in this study are operating, grant and capital expenditures related to the performing arts, visual and media arts, crafts, design, museums, heritage, special events, multidisciplinary activities, creative and cultural industries, city-owned cultural facilities, cultural districts, public art, and other art purchases. The net investment figures reported in this summary exclude funds transferred from other levels of government as well as other sources of revenue. The net investment figures therefore provide estimates of what was spent from the municipal tax base. The full report contains more information about gross investment figures.
