Creative City Network of Canada is pleased to announce that the 2012 Creative City Summit will take place October 21 – 23, 2012 in the City of Victoria, British Columbia.

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.
