Arts groups converge for Culture Days
Organizers of Culture Days, a new national celebration of arts and culture, are hoping it becomes the country’s biggest public participation program undertaken by the arts and cultural community.
The idea is for groups to present free activities for the public from Sept. 24-26. Culture Days was inspired by Quebec’s annual Journees de la culture festival, which draws hundreds of thousands of people to events hosted by more than 8,000 artists and professionals.
Howard Jang, executive director at the Arts Club, said he was intrigued with the idea of Culture Days for two reasons. “It was a really grassroots approach to arts and culture and the community,” he said. “Second, it wasn’t an advocacy effort; it was about building relationships. I think from that point of view, it has potential for the long term.”
