Calgary Arts Development is carrying out this study to support effective investment in cultural space for the arts over the next ten years.

This project:

• Includes three phases: Inventory, Trends and Needs Analysis, and Master Planning
• Requires direct community input from Calgary’s vibrant and diverse artistic community
  
• Includes examination of what space and venue signify for artistic creation
• Includes the creation of an inventory of existing facilities and an examination of needs and trends, locally, and in the broader global context
• Enables Calgary Arts Development to champion broad areas of opportunity for existing, new and re-defined cultural facilities.
• Enables Calgary Arts Development to provide specific advice to City Council on the impact and benefits of proposed projects
• Is part of Calgary Arts Development’s on-going, long-term strategic planning to enhance the environment for the arts in Calgary

Calgary Arts Development has put together a steering committee to provide guidance and public participation in each phase of the project. The committee is comprised of local experts representing a cross section of stakeholders.

Here is a list of the steering committee members.

Our lead sponsor is the University of Calgary through the Urban Campus Initiative, however, we are seeking further project sponsors from Government, institutions, the Private sector, and foundations.
