September is Culture Month
This September, Calgary will experience its second annual Culture Month - an initiative to celebrate the arts in Calgary and encourage Calgarians and visitors to take advantage of the city's extensive offering of arts events.
September is one of the best months of the year to experience the arts in Calgary. Hot on the heels of Calgary's busy summer festivals season, the month is packed with new plays, gallery openings, concerts and other events that call attention to Calgary's exciting year-round arts scene. While these are all exciting happenings, September isn't the only time you'll find them in Calgary. Calgary offers a diverse selection of arts events throughout the year, every year - and it's only getting better.
Calgary Culture? Dream Big for 2012!
Culture Month is your chance to dream big about culture in our city. Calgary is bidding to be named the Cultural Capital of Canada in 2012, and the Calgary 2012 Project is looking for your ideas about how Calgarians should celebrate.
2012 marks a pivotal year in Calgary’s cultural history. The centennial anniversaries of some of the city’s cultural cornerstones will be celebrated in 2012, including the Calgary Stampede, City of Calgary Recreation, the Calgary Public Library, the Pumphouse and the GRAND Theatre.
What do you think makes this city great? Share your thoughts on why you love living in Calgary, what you think the future of culture in our city should be and how you want to celebrate culture in 2012. Whether it’s acknowledging Calgary’s cultural history, experiencing everything this city has to offer or something entirely new, no idea is too big and no act is too small.
The ideas YOU suggest will be the basis for Calgary’s bid. Dream big!
