Markham, ON: Markham appoints first Director of Culture
“The Town of Markham has appointed John Ryerson as the Town’s first Director of Culture. Mr. Ryerson served as acting Director of Culture and the Varley Art Gallery Director during the last two years and led a new cultural development program. In October 2008, Markham Council confirmed the critical role of a Department of Culture to enhance Markham’s social and heritage values, and to champion the development of creative arts. ‘Embracing cultural diversity and community participation is fundamental to the health, success and vibrancy of a community,’ said Mayor Frank Scarpitti. ‘We are fortunate in Markham to be able to draw upon a rich heritage, strong traditions and diverse artistic talents of people from around the world. John Ryerson’s appointment and our new Culture Department will help us expand these opportunities.’”

Maple Ridge, BC: City considers public art
“What is art? In Maple Ridge, the age-old question will be answered by a committee – a public art committee – once it’s formed this spring. That’s one of the first steps to be taken as council considered a bylaw Tuesday [April 14] to create the committee and an agreement to pay for it all. If council approves staff suggestions, $40,000 will be spent this year, with that amount increasing by $10,000 each year until 2012 and 2013, where it will remain at $70,000. That compares to $85,000 set aside each year for public art by the City of North Vancouver and in Richmond, one per cent of its capital works budget. Apart from $10,000 a year for administration, the money will pay for art that will go on public display.”

The Alberta government is proud to contribute to these exhibits.’”

Cirque to celebrate 25th anniversary with bug-themed show Ovo
“For its 25th anniversary, Cirque du soleil is taking inspiration from lowly insects and elevating the bustling world of bugs into another of its trademark acrobatic extravaganzas. Quebec-based Cirque offered a preview of Ovo — its 25th production in 25 years — in Montreal on Tuesday [April 7]. Ovo, which denotes the Portuguese word for "egg," will be based on the life cycle and ecosystem of a colourful and insect community that discovers a mysterious egg in its midst. Featuring 53 performers hailing from 13 countries, the production will have its world premiere under the Cirque's blue-and-yellow Grand Chapiteau in Montreal's Old Port on May 8.”

Vancouver, BC: Woodward's project includes 'significant' arts space
“Architect Gregory Henriquez calls it one of the most significant arts facilities to be built in Canada in recent years. Where is it? In the Downtown Eastside. Henriquez made the comment while overlooking what will be a performance theatre in the bowels of the Woodward's redevelopment at 149 West Hastings. Still under construction, it will accommodate more than 350 spectators when it opens early next year as part of the massive redevelopment. The theatre will be the showpiece of Simon Fraser University's School for the Contemporary Arts, which will relocate from the university's Burnaby campus. The school, which will open in January, also includes two 125-capacity studio theatres, a 350-seat cinema and lecture hall, three dance studios, a film soundstage and gallery.” ‘W’ will also be home to W2: Community Media Arts which will bring together hybrid art forms, community art practices, individual human development and community cultural development in a single environment.

National Gallery of Canada to consult arts community on future of photography collection
“The photographic arts community will have a say in the future of the Canadian Museum of Contemporary Photography. The National Gallery of Canada's board of trustees has instructed the staff to consult with the photographic community across Canada on the long-term future of its affiliate, the Canadian Museum of Contemporary Photography. Last month, the board approved the permanent move of the CMCP to the main gallery facility at 380 Sussex Dr. The CMCP collection — which consists of over 17,700 photographic works and 144,000 negatives and transparencies — was previously located at a leased facility at 1 Rideau Canal.”

Facing deficit, National Ballet halts Western Canada tour
“Faced with its first deficit in years, The National Ballet of Canada has cancelled its five-city, 13-performance tour of Western Canada to avoid "undue financial risk." The tour has traditionally taken place every second year for decades, and the company had planned to mount the popular Sleeping Beauty in Calgary, Edmonton, Victoria, Nanaimo, B.C., and Vancouver between Sept. 17 and Oct. 3. But the trip, which was slated this year to carry 128 people and cost nearly $2-million, has mostly incurred small losses in past years, including a $50,000 shortfall in its last incarnation. ‘This year, we felt [the loss] could be much larger,’ said Lucille Joseph, chair of the Ballet's board of directors.”

Arts called essential to Toronto's vitality
“It may seem counterintuitive at a time of local belt-tightening in the midst of a worldwide recession, but when Toronto city councillors passed the city's annual budget this week, they actually increased spending on culture. Specifically, the $45 million budget for the Community Partnership and Investment Program – which brings arts into neighbourhoods across the city and gives hope and opportunity to young people living hardscrabble lives – is up 2 per cent. Culture spending in the $8.7 billion budget also continued to support a range of cultural institutions both large and small, from the National Ballet of Canada to Arts Scarborough.”

Bright minds, great cities
“Long before Richard Florida discovered the "creative class" and their predilection for culturally dynamic places, Charles Landry started talking about the "creative city," referring to the regenerative force of arts and culture in post-industrial cities like Glasgow, Scotland, starting in the late 1980s. The UK writer/thinker [spoke] to a business luncheon crowd on Tuesday [April 21], hosted by Greater Halifax Partnership, a sort of souped-up Chamber of Commerce, describing itself as a public-private partnership ‘leading economic growth for Greater Halifax’… Landry's visit to Halifax is coming on the heels of a recent report by the Nova Scotia Cultural Action Network, called Building the Creative Economy. While the NSCAN report focuses specifically on the arts and cultural sector of the economy, it shares some key philosophical points with Landry's work, not least of which is the respect for and awareness of the nature of creativity.”

Culture can drive the economic and social growth
“Something remarkable has happened in Toronto: extraordinary building projects for major Ontario cultural institutions have been completed. Programs have been renewed and revitalized. Accessibility and inclusiveness have become standards, increasingly reflecting the changing face of Toronto and Canada. Cultural institutions have moved onto centre stage and boldly declared that they stand for the voices and aspirations of artists, scientists and educators. Collectively, cultural leaders have become the advocates for a renewed sense of the spirit, of the imagination, and of engaged learning. And their voices have become even more audible as the challenging economic climate threatens to deplete the spirit and energy of communities under pressure. Together, all who gave of their time and their resources to see these projects through, have said unequivocally: arts and culture matter.”

Singapore lightens up
“Hollywood actor Ethan Hawke stars in a production of Shakespeare's "The Winter's Tale," staged here this week by British director Sam Mendes. Meanwhile, across town, the curtain is rising on Oscar Wilde's "The Importance of Being Earnest," with an all-male cast. These are the latest marquee productions in Singapore's ambitious bid to claim status as a global performing arts city on a par with London or New York -- even if it means relaxing some long-held taboos. Theaters here increasingly are allowed to take on risqué social and political themes, a sign this tightly controlled Southeast Asian city-state is starting to loosen up.” (IFACCA)

UK: The artists who are hot to squat ...
“In a semi-derelict building in Lambeth, south London, amid collapsed sofas and empty wine bottles, a group of squatters in their 20s are playing a word-association game. It started off with "laws" and is followed round the circle with "breaking", "entering" and then "exiting". Accidentally or otherwise, here is the common perception of squatting in four words. But squatting itself is not a crime in England, and this group's presence - making films, building sculptures and busily renovating as they paint walls as well as canvases - is completely legal, albeit very much a secret from the building's owner. ‘I don't feel we should apologise for being here. We're opportunists,’ says Ed, a mustachioed 26-year-old who works in video. ‘I'm damned if I'm going to work six days a week to pay for a studio space.’ He is not alone. Over the past few years an "art squat" subculture has been quietly growing in the UK to include not just opportunists like Ed, but creative and ambitious groups for whom the decision to squat - for working or living or both - comes as much from an idealistic, DIY ethos as it does from financial expediency.”

“As the global economy becomes more competitive, the UAE, like other peer nations, will be challenged to attract and retain the brightest talent, as well as provide the necessary skill training and education opportunities to stay competitive.

Germany: Artists to refresh Berlin Wall murals
“Artists who created murals on the Berlin Wall have begun restoring their open-air artworks, ahead of planned upcoming celebrations marking 20 years since the Cold War-era barrier fell. The murals, which were painted on a 1,300-metre concrete stretch of wall running along the Spree River, are a major tourist attraction. However, over the years, the paintings have been subject to damage from weather, pollution, vandals and even tourists wanting to break off a souvenir to take home. The murals have been dubbed the "world's largest open-air art gallery" by a group of artists known collectively as the East Side Gallery. According to gallery head Kani Alavi, four of the original artists have begun restoration work and 82 others have pledged to participate.”

Jakarta: Cultural spaces for humane city
“Jakarta residents should fight for art and cultural spaces in the city lest they be swallowed by economic powers, an academic said. Speaking in a general lecture at the German cultural center Goethehaus, Catholic priest and lecturer Mudji Sutrisno, said that shopping malls were too dominant and a lifestyle of consumerism has ate up people's creative time. ‘Walking in gardens, cultural museum or art are replaced with shopping or meandering inside malls,’ he said. Jakarta has around 40 shopping centers, with many areas having two to three malls in one site. Cultural spaces, such as museums and art centers are available, however, with their managements were struggling amid limited funding, Mudji said. Meanwhile, other different groups fight over public parks and playgrounds.”

One Vision, Many Voices: How to Build a Sustainable Rural Canada
Recommendations from the National Symposium: Rural Matters! Forging Healthy Canadian Communities
July 5 – 8, 2008 | Edmonton, Alberta
Prepared by Western Sky Management Associates Inc. for the Alberta Association of Municipal Districts and Counties | weblink to PDF
“Healthy and vibrant rural communities are an essential part of Canada’s future. That is the consensus of 800 rural leaders from across Canada. Their report, One Vision, Many Voices: How to Build a Sustainable Rural Canada outlines a comprehensive set of priorities for action – spanning governance, infrastructure, economy and environment – that they say are needed to ensure the sustainability of our rural communities.”
Measuring Intrinsic Value: How to Stop Worrying and Love Economics
Hasan Bakhshi, Alan Freeman and Graham Hitchen, April 2009 | weblink to PDF
“This paper seeks to transcend entrenched misunderstandings between economics and arts policymaking. These misunderstandings, which have long dogged discussion on arts funding in the UK, tend to manifest themselves in the long-running debate about ‘instrumental’ and ‘intrinsic’ approaches to public expenditure on culture and the arts. This paper argues that the reluctance to use rigorous economic methods has hindered rather than helped the case for the arts, and offers a provocative reconsideration of the outdated and poorly-informed prejudices which lie behind this reluctance. It seeks to demonstrate how economics can provide the tools to 'measure' and validate the intrinsic value of art, and to do so in a way which is commensurable with other measures of value for other calls on the public purse.”
Heritage Canada Foundation marks Earth Day with green initiatives
Heritage Canada Foundation, April 22, 2009 | weblink
“In recognition of Earth Day the Heritage Canada Foundation (HCF) offers a collection of online resources that celebrate the inherently green credentials of historic buildings. Visit HCF’s website to access these heritage resources. This year, HCF is raising awareness about the sustainable benefits of keeping heritage buildings from becoming landfill by adapting them to meet new green environmental standards. In Ontario alone, 2.2 million tonnes of landfill (23% of the total) is the result of demolition and construction waste. Rehabilitating and greening the buildings we already have, rather than demolishing and rebuilding, makes good environmental sense.”
