Culture Days 2012
Sunday, September 30, 2012
Location: Smiths Falls
Culture Days is a collaborative pan-Canadian volunteer movement to raise the awareness, accessibility, participation and engagement of all Canadians in the arts and cultural life of their communities. A national Steering Committee, together with provincial committees (known as Provincial Task Forces) self-mobilize at the grassroots level to implement concurrent, annual, province-wide public participation events that take place throughout the country over the last weekend of September. The first annual Culture Days event was held in September 2010 in over 700 Canadian cities and towns and, by all accounts, was a great success. The 2012 Culture Days weekend will take place September 28, 29 & 30. Annual, Canada-wide Culture Days events feature free, hands-on, interactive activities that invite the public to participate “behind the scenes,” to discover the world of artists, creators, historians, architects, curators, and designers at work in their community. In support of these annual events, Culture Days drives a large-scale,multi-layered, annual,national communications and public relations campaign designed to help inspire and catalyze greater public participation in the arts and cultural life of our communities. Culture Days is a collaborative movement that relies on your participation. Everyone has a role they can play; as an artist, a cultural professional, on behalf of an arts organization or a municipality, as a business person, as a member of the public, etc. Everyone can contribute to the Culture Days movement. Join this exciting cross-country network and invite your friends, family and colleagues to do so too!.
