Cultural Affairs

Sue Edworthy

I really dislike the phrase “cultural affairs”.

It makes me think of bureaucracy, and red tape, and badly designed humourless websites that don’t let me know in time that we didn’t get our grant due to the fill in the blank government cutbacks. This is what over a decade in the not for profit performing arts has led me to think of when I hear the phrase “cultural affairs”. Add in the words “government” or “international” and I want to faint.

I’m taking it back. It’s my New Year’s Resolution.

From now on for me the phrase cultural affairs will be about cool and exciting things happening in the creative world around me - occurrences that inspire and educate and provoke conversation and thought. Not about what isn’t being done, or can’t be done, but what is happening and working all over the world.

Have you ever heard of Paducah, Kentucky? Neither had I until a while ago. At a time when funding for the arts is constantly being cut, Paducah has established an environment where artists and the arts are flourishing. Paducah’s Artist Relocation Program was started in August of 2000 and is now a national model for using the arts for economic development. The Artist Relocation Program has been awarded the Governors Award in the Arts, The Kentucky Chapter of the American Planning Association Distinguished Planning Award, The American Planning Association National Planning Award and most recently Kentucky League of Cities Enterprise Cities Award. The Artist Relocation Program is about artist ownership, thus giving the artists a vested interest in their community. To date they have relocated seventy artists from all over the USA.

Okay that’s a cultural affair I can get into.

What else is happening in cultural affairs? The Canadian Government has launched the Podcasts.culture.ca website, the Government of Canada's very first directory of Canadian cultural podcasts. Podcasts.culture.ca, an on-line service accessible through Culture.ca, is a new Internet directory of audio and video files for listening or viewing on demand. Web visitors are invited to download the files directly from the directory, which has a starting collection of more than 300 Canadian podcasts related to the arts, heritage, and society, and is aimed at anyone who wants to explore, find, and share in the best of Canada's cultural and creative life.

I hope EAP podcasts get to be on it.

You know what? I am but one person. I saw and heard about those ones. I’d like to hear what else is going on in cultural affairs that is important to people. Remember the New Year’s resolution disclaimer above: occurrences that inspire and educate and provoke conversation and thought.

Happy New Year! Happy cultural affairs!

Amazing material. Many thanks for your blog. A little recommendation. I am not endorsing Google in any way, however i have seen that you are not utilizing Google Analytics on your site. This is a great way to increase your site and generate income from it in a better way. It actually makes it possible for to track visits to see exactly what specific information is popular. I highly recommend it. One other good software package for that function is PIWIK and it’s an open source free of charge package that you simply install on your own web host account Customized Essay

You actually make it appear so easy along with your presentation however I find this topic to be actually one thing which I believe I would by no means understand. It seems too complicated and extremely extensive for me. I’m having a look ahead for your subsequent put up, I�ll attempt to get the dangle of it!

Creating your site you need to upload only original content. But, even if your contents are composed by professional writing specialists, you do not know that your academic papers are original. Therefore, you should better use plagiarism detection. That will guarantee that your stuff is original.
