Culture Days
Culture days is a cross Canada grass roots movement to raise awareness of the arts by the participation and engagement of the public in various activities and events produced by art and culture groups and individuals.
While still in its baby stage, this pan Canada event grows each year and 2011 was the best yet! Virtually every community did its best to become involved, realizing that the arts play such a major role in everyday life, even if people don't know it.
Art crosses every type and kind of boundary and brings people together. It encourages dialogue and discussion whether for or against, it stirs the soul and lightens the spirit. Art can make a bad day good and a good day even better.
No matter what the discipline, no matter what the preference, art in and of itself has the power to create good, to build community togetherness, to show that nothing is impossible! Art is powerful. Art is important and pleads to be shared, and that is what Culture Days is about.
This annual Culture Days event normally takes place the end of September/ beginning of October and while we do not yet have the date for 2012 at this time, keep checking back for an update. You can then mark the date on your calendar and watch your papers to find out what is happening where and take the time to attend one or two exhibitions and events.
Both your soul and your spirit will thank you.
