Culture Days 2016 Call For Participation

Posted by:
BC Culture Days invites you to register an activity for the 2016 Culture Days weekend…

Culture Days will take place this year on September 30, October 1 and 2. Artists, arts organizations, cultural, and heritage organizations, businesses, and municipalities can all play a part in sharing our love of arts and culture.

“With more than 600 activities registered across the province last year, we have seen clear growth in the Culture Days movement and the public’s desire for more engagement with their arts and cultural communities. Whether this is your first time or you are joining us again we encourage early registration for the seventh Culture Days Weekend. “ BC Culture Days Task Force Chair, Judy Robertson.

Give the public a peek behind the curtains to discover your creative process, have them learn something new or engage with other members of the community.

Choose from a variety of activity types to connect with participants:

Hands-on: invite people to create, help make or try doing something themselves.
Behind-the-scenes: take visitors inside artistic spaces to get a peek at creativity in action.
Excursion: offer a tour of more than one location (e.g., art gallery crawl).
Discussion: offer artist talks, panels, roundtables and other cultural conversations where audiences can learn and discuss.
Collective Creation: let the public contribute to a collaborative act or work of art.
Culture Days is not only a celebration, but an opportunity to showcase what you do year-round, so feel free to register free activities promoting upcoming events or assisting with the planning of future community projects, such as public consultations, seminars, or volunteer recruitment activities.

Registration is easy!

Start by going to CultureDays.ca and clicking Register an Activity.
