ABOUT​​ ​CREATIVE​ ​CALGARY   

Working​ ​for​ ​Calgary’s​ ​Creative​ ​Future.   

The​ ​arts​ ​represent​ ​the​ ​soul​ ​of​ ​a​ ​city​ ​–​ ​making​ ​cities​ ​more​ ​livable,​ ​interesting​ ​and  inspirational​ ​for​ ​all​ ​citizens​ ​and​ ​our​ ​children​ ​to​ ​grow​ ​and​ ​achieve​ ​their​ ​full​ ​potential  through​ ​lessons,​ ​classes,​ ​performances​ ​and​ ​creative​ ​interactions.​ ​Creative​ ​Calgary​ ​is​ ​a  non-partisan​ ​group​ ​of​ ​citizens​ ​that​ ​care​ ​deeply​ ​about​ ​the​ ​role​ ​the​ ​arts​ ​play​ ​in​ ​connecting  our​ ​communities​ ​and​ ​building​ ​a​ ​healthy,​ ​thriving​ ​city.    Calgary’s​ ​artists​ ​are​ ​world-class​ ​and​ ​we​ ​aspire​ ​to​ ​be​ ​a​ ​creative​ ​hub,​ ​accessible​ ​to​ ​people​ ​of  every​ ​age,​ ​ability​ ​and​ ​background.​ ​The​ ​arts​ ​and​ ​cultural​ ​sector​ ​currently​ ​employs​ ​more  than​ ​50,000​ ​Calgarians​ ​and​ ​is​ ​a​ ​critical​ ​component​ ​of​ ​the​ ​economic​ ​diversification​ ​of​ ​the  city,​ ​yet​ ​we​ ​could​ ​be​ ​contributing​ ​even​ ​more.​ ​ ​Unfortunately,​ ​the​ ​sector​ ​is​ ​under​ ​threat  due​ ​to​ ​persistent​ ​underfunding​ ​from​ ​the​ ​municipal​ ​government,​ ​presenting​ ​a​ ​substantial  risk​ ​to​ ​our​ ​city’s​ ​educational,​ ​financial​ ​and​ ​community​ ​vitality.     We​ ​have​ ​a​ ​considerable​ ​opportunity​ ​to​ ​enhance​ ​Calgary’s​ ​future​ ​through​ ​sustainable​ ​arts  funding.​ ​Vote​ ​for​ ​candidates​ ​who​ ​support​ ​the​ ​arts​ ​and​ ​cultural​ ​sector​ ​in​ ​the​ ​City​ ​of  Calgary.
