The third annual Culture Days weekend of celebrating arts and culture takes place across Canada from September 28 – 30, 2012. Members of Vancouver’s arts and cultural community are encouraged to participate and reminded that early registration of activities is now open at www.culturedays.ca.
According to the Culture Days 2011 National Report, nearly 800 communities participated across Canada last year. Vancouver ranked in the top ten communities for the total number of registered events over the weekend.
Culture Days is a Canada-wide volunteer movement to raise the awareness, accessibility, participation and engagement of Canadians in the cultural life of their communities. Free interactive activities are offered annually to the public throughout the final weekend in September by local artists, designers, curators, chefs, artisans and other creative people and organizations.
Any group or individual planning to offer an activity for this year’s Culture Days is invited to register online at www.culturedays.ca before April 30th to be part of a national marketing campaign. This campaign includes a feature ad in the Globe and Mail later this spring.
