Artscape is pleased to post the following conference opportunity on behalf of the City of Barrie.

Conference: May 5 -6, 2010
Barrie, Ontario

Mark your calendars for May and plan to join other cultural managers, planners, developers, business people and arts professionals alike at what promises to be an informative two day event! Register early (by March 20) for a chance to win a free conference.

This conference came about when a small group of municipal cultural managers decided to bring together those invested in the arts and highlight some of the amazing cultural activities of the near north. The title “Culture Grows Here” came from discussions around cultivating culture in our own communities and creating opportunities with available resources.

Conference Highlights will be:

Amazing Speakers:
Eddie Friel, Architect of the cultural transformation of Glasgow, Scotland
Lawrence Mawhinney, Mayor of Lunenburg, Nova Scotia
Janis Barlow of Janis Barlow and Associates
Jeremy Freiburger, Creative Director of the Imperial Cotton Centre for the Arts
Kelly Hill, Hill Strategies Research

Tours of innovative adaptive re-use of space:
The Gibson Centre for Community Arts and Culture – A Factory Turned Fabulous!
The MacLaren Art Centre, a Carnegie Library now Gallery!

A one man play on a bus, “Tales of An Urban Indian” by Talk is Free Theatre.
