WELCOME MESSAGES

Greetings from City of Victoria Mayor Dean FortinIt is my great pleasure to welcome you to the City of Victoria and the 2012 Creative City Summit .

Victoria is the central hub for arts and cultural activity in the Capital Region . We believe arts and culture as essential elements to a sustainable, innovative and liveable city, and should be woven into the very fabric of our community .

place to live, work, play and visit .

In 2012, the City of Victoria is celebrating 150 years of rich history and proud public service . Over its history, Victoria has been home to some of Canada’s most colourful characters, including architect Francis Rattenbury, painter and writer Emily Carr, newspaperman and ‘lover of the universe’ Amour De Cosmos and many others . Our community continues to attract vibrant, creative and talented people who are working towards making the future of our city even brighter .

Dear Summit Delegates,

Welcome to the 2012 Creative City Summit in Greater Victoria .

Sharing expertise in a growing field is a key benefit of the Creative City Network of Canada (CCNC), and our annual Summits are an essential way to establish your professional network and grow your creative city development skills with peers across Canada .

The keynote speakers this year include Linda Huffman, Burke Taylor, Matthew Richter, and our invited member presenters are Jane Fernyhough and Eric Fiss . We are truly honoured that they have accepted our invitation to share their experiences in creative place making, cultural planning, culture-led economic development and public art . We also have the great fortune to bring you a wide range of breakout sessions on the variety of challenges and opportunities in local cultural development . These breakout sessions are more intimate learning experiences that offer you direct contact with people working in these areas .

As always, the study tours and evening events are one of the highlights of the CCNC annual Summits because they extend the professional learning experiences from our conference hall into the neighbourhoods, public spaces and waterways of our host communities .

A founding CCNC member once told me, “A creative city isn’t a place; it is where people go to be surprised .” I hope this year, through your attendance at the 2012 Summit, you will find at least one welcome surprise that will inspire you, and that you will bring back and share with your community .

Wishing you an excellent Summit!

Elena Bird, Vice-President Creative City Network of Canada Chair, 2012 Summit Planning Committee

2012 Summit Theme: Fertile Grounds: Culture in Your Community

On the occasion of the Creative City Network of Canada’s 10th year anniversary, the 2012 Summit ‘Fertile Grounds: Culture in Your Community’ will take a behind-the-scenes look at how communities work with their local governments to be creative, and integrate culture into their long-term sustainability and economic development .

This Summit will explore real stories of how communities are repurposing spaces for cultural uses, taking over abandoned storefronts for artists’ studios, developing public art in unconventional places, holding one-night only events, and integrating affordable cultural space into new development . This Summit will celebrate and share how communities are developing new approaches and innovative partnerships in bringing forward fresh ideas to celebrate the stories and histories of the people who live there .

The pub is named after its building’s provenance as the Bank of British Columbia that operated in the city from 1862 to 1988 . It is also named after a bank employee and poet, Robert Service (also known as the Bard of the Yukon), that worked at the bank at the beginning of the 20th century and later moved to the Yukon where his experiences inspired well known Canadian poems, The shooting of Dan McGrew and The Cremation of Sam McGee .

It is at this place that intersects history, the arts, finance, heritage and downtown revitalization, that we will kick-off our 2012 Creative City Summit, and celebrate our own history of the Creative City Network of Canada .

The Art of Living with City Administration

In 2008 the Edmonton Arts Council produced the 10-year cultural plan - The Art of Living . Its first recommendation was to reinvigorate Arts Habitat and expand their mandate to find, manage and develop space for the arts . In the three years since, Arts Habitat has initiated four major projects in partnership with the City of Edmonton responding to the needs of artists for space, and to the City’s desire to rejuvenate neighbourhoods through arts-led revitalization:

1 . The renovation of an old commercial storefront into a multi-discipline arts facility;2 . The purchase of a sixteen-unit condo complex as an affordable housing co-op for

professional artists;3 . Predevelopment on a major mixed-use arts facility which when completed

will house 60 residential units and 40,000 sq .ft . of space for non-profit arts organizations;

4 . Arts Habitat is also working with Edmonton’s Planning Department on a major review of the city’s bylaws to address issues that currently impede arts development .

Linda Huffman, Executive Director of Arts Habitat, will reveal the challenges and opportunities she’s experienced in partnering with the City of Edmonton on these projects .

BIO Linda Huffman is the Executive Director of Arts Habitat Edmonton . Arts Habitat is a non-profit company whose mandate is to find, manage and develop space for the arts .

St. Catharines’ Performing Arts Centre – A story of community, partnership and revitalization

Since 1967 St . Catharines has dreamt of a performing arts centre in its downtown core . A 1970’s auditorium study, a 1999 feasibility study and a 2001 community needs assessment failed to materialize the yearned-for facility for the city .

While it has been well-served by Brock University’s arts presentation program for more than 45 years, the community has had fewer and fewer opportunities to use the university’s venues for local performances, and the venues have been challenged with contemporary accessibility requirements, limited seating capacities and university space pressures for lecture halls .

In summer, 2012 the City begins construction on a $61 million facility in its downtown, with three performance venues and one film house, adjacent to Brock University’s future Marilyn I . Walker School of Fine and Performing Arts, which is to be housed in an adapted industrial textile building . Together the two project budgets are over $101 million, and provincial and federal support for the projects is more than $57 million . The arts community is working in concert with the City, a partnership agreement is signed with the university, and the design process is almost complete, with phase one of construction about to begin .

Steve Solski, Executive Director of the St . Catharines Downtown Performing Arts Centre, will discuss the unique partnership development with the university, the future arts centre’s operational and business plans that merge university and community needs and goals, and the exciting design created by Diamond & Smith Architects that is set to turn downtown St . Catharines, the heart of the Niagara region, on its way to a vibrant and more prosperous new future .

Community Building, Festivals, Special Events and Youth

The Festivals & Event Policy was approved by Council February 9, 2010 laying the foundation for how The City of Calgary would support events and declaring this support as core business for the corporation . As part of the implementation of the policy administration defined key areas of business unit coordination and public education initiatives .

The Event Services division at the City responsible for the corporate coordination and oversight of the permit and approval process through the Interdepartmental Event Team (IET) lead a review of all regulatory and emergency planning requirements related to festivals and events in the city . The IET consists of representatives from the following departments or business units: Parks, Roads, Transit, Animal & Bylaw, Calgary Police Service, Calgary Emergency Management Agency, City Clerks, Corporate Security, Calgary Fire Department, Development and Building Authority, Waste and Recycling, Alberta Gaming & Liquor Commission, plus Alberta Health Services: Emergency Medical Service and Public Health .

In early 2011 Event Services was asked to participate in a working group specific to mass gatherings for Alberta communities holding large public events as a result of the stage collapse in Camrose Alberta . This working group was led by Deputy Chief Tom Sampson from Calgary Emergency Management Agency and resulted Event Services requested IET to develop an Emergency Response Plan (ERP) guide for organizers holding events in Calgary . The ERP guide is now a tool for organizers to work through to develop their individual event ERP .

In a presentation the City will outline the many areas of coordination and steps involved in coming to a corporate guideline that ensured full compliance with the Alberta Building Code requirements, Development and Building Authority requirements, Calgary Fire Department inspections and Fire Code, plus alignment with best practice research and the mass gathering work group findings .

Cultural Policy, Plans, Measurement and Sustainability

The saying ”you don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone” can relate to cultural heritage resources . As time marches on, the old is replaced by the new and places change –year by year, structure by structure . Incremental decisions to demolish or alter individual heritage resources eventually result in the widespread loss of cultural heritage assets .

Waterloo Region has decided that it is their role as a regional municipality to help ensure that decision makers are able to see the broader context when making smaller decisions about the conservation of heritage resources . For over a decade, the Region has been undertaking research projects that inventory and rank select types of cultural heritage resources, including historic bridges, scenic roads, and public buildings . Not only has this research provided valuable background material to decision makers, it has resulted in the restoration and long term protection of many cultural heritage resources .

Our presentation will showcase how research has provided an opportunity to be proactive and support the effectiveness and efficiency of others – a refreshing perspective in a sector that is often reactionary and controversial .

Intersections: Public Art and Urban Planning

As one of the most ethnically diverse communities in Canada, the City of Richmond is experiencing rapid growth particularly in its city centre . A new rapid transit rail connection to Vancouver and the international airport, an unprecedented number and scale of development projects and its new award winning Olympic Speed Skating Oval are all

contributing to this growth . Public art, sponsored by both the City and private development, has been a significant part of this revitalization .

The Public Art Program, adopted in 1997, has evolved over time responding to the challenges and opportunities: increasing cultural diversity in the artists and the works and reaching a larger audience of the City’s residents, youth, seniors, and different cultural backgrounds; increasing the range of new media and scale of public art installations; and increasing the awareness, appreciation and support for public art by the public, politicians and city staff .

This presentation will provide a brief background on our Public Art Program; profile several opportunities that contributed to the depth and breadth of the program; and share lessons learned along the way .

BIO Jane Fernyhough is the Director, Arts, Culture and Heritage Services for the City of Richmond . In this role Jane is responsible for arts and heritage planning and policy,

public art, and the development and operation of arts facilities and heritage sites . Collaborating with other municipal departments to embed culture in all aspects of civic activity is of particular interest . She is a founding director and a past president of Creative City Network of Canada .

BIO Eric Fiss brings 30 years of experience in architecture, planning, and art management to his role as Public Art Planner for the City of Richmond . In addition to an

undergraduate Bachelor of Arts degree in Communications from Antioch College, he holds degrees in architecture from Dalhousie University and Columbia University, and is a registered architect in British Columbia as well as a member of the Canadian Institute of Planners .

Graffiti and Art - Is it valued or is it vandalism?

Like many cities, Victoria has focused considerable resources towards reducing the proliferation of graffiti . However, at the same time as the graffiti problem has escalated, street art has been emerging as an acceptable art form . Cities such as Sao Paulo and Berlin are now gaining international attention for their streets and buildings supporting this form of public art . This session will explore the differences between graffiti and street art and examine approaches municipalities have taken to effectively manage graffiti vandalism, while promoting valued artistic expression that enhances the public realm .

Storefront Art Activation: Piercing the Membrane

In the summer of 2010, Seattle’s downtown core was facing an unprecedented 20% vacancy rate at street level . A few visionary neighborhood groups banded together, recruited the support of various city offices, and together with the independent arts support agency Shunpike, launched the entity known as Storefronts Seattle . Storefronts was conceived as a way to revitalize blighted parts of Seattle’s retail core with temporary art installations and artists’ projects .

While various versions of art-in-storefronts programs have launched recently around the world, the Storefronts Seattle program has been uniquely successful at leasing space to commercial clients, at incubating and launching new permanent arts businesses, and at quantifiably proving the arts’ role in the economic development of neighborhoods and cities .

The program has, in its first 18 months, recruited 25 independent storefront spaces, and has leased 8 of those to new commercial tenants (a success rate of over 30%) . They have presented over 50 arts projects, have launched five new stable arts businesses, and in 2011 were named “Seattle’s Best New Gallery” by the Seattle Weekly (particularly impressive since the organization is not, by any conventional definition, a gallery) .

BIO An arts entrepreneur, Matthew Richter has founded and directed four successful nonprofit arts organizations . He is an award-winning arts manager, and has consulted

to the Rockefeller Foundation, the National Art and Technology Network, the City of Seattle, King County, as well as having served on the boards of Allied Arts and the Greenwich Shakespeare

15

Company . He is the recipient of the Safeco Rudy Award for nonprofit director of the year (2002) and the recipient of the Mayor’s Arts Award as Founder and Executive Director of Consolidated Works (2003) . He has also lectured at the University of Washington and Seattle University, and is a nationally published writer and editor .

He has launched, directed, and completed three major capital campaigns to build arts facilities, the most recent of which, a $500,000 campaign for Consolidated Works, created a 32,000 square foot contemporary arts facility in a 1944 warehouse in Seattle’s South Lake Union neighborhood . The facility, called Seattle’s “most dazzling [contemporary art space] in terms of scale and complexity” by Art in America, contained a 150-seat theater, a 50-seat cinema, a 4,000 square foot gallery, a 300-person music and lecture hall, three artist-in-residence studios, six offices for fellow nonprofits, a full bar and lounge, an arts resource room, and rehearsal and meeting spaces .

As a curator and producer, he has presented multi-award-winning programming in the visual arts, the theater, and on film . He has commissioned and produced over 20 world-premiere mainstage theaterperformances,andistheco-producerof14/48,theworld’squickesttheaterfestival,which has expanded from Seattle’s fringe theaters to productions in Canada, Pakistan, and the United Kingdom .

Talk Creative to Me: Understanding your city’s creative capital and developing a language for City Hall and the creative community

In the fall of 2011, the City of Powell River embarked on an ambitious plan to explore how it’s rich, but fragmented, arts and culture scene could provide a platform for economic revitalization . Described as an “arts mecca” by one travel writer, Powell River has long recognized its creative potential, but has struggled to bring real momentum to this sector .

But therein may lie the issue: Does our creative sector even know it’s a sector? Does it act like a sector? Does City Hall think of it as a sector?

To tackle this question, a map - Powell River: Our Cultural Capital - has been developed . It’s a simple graphic but has had a profound impact in bringing a collective mind to Powell River’s creative “players” . It is also helping decision-makers better understand the realities of the new economy and how to play a role in it . Drastically different from the old days when City Hall negotiated with large corporate entities who communicate in slick analytics and Bay Street business speak, nurturing the creative economy requires a whole new set of skills, attitudes, and approaches… an entirely different language . Creative sector players come with different

needs, bring different benefits, and, in most cases, operate at a way different scale, but local governments who can work with this can tap into a cultural gold mine .

This presentation will trace the objectives, activities and outcomes of our process to date and facilitate a dialogue on how institutional reform and sector-building can foster a new way of doing business .

Making Culture Count! Town of Qualicum Beach Cultural Planning Project

Working with the conference theme of “Fertile Grounds”, this presentation will share an evaluation of using artisan and farmers markets in the community engagement framework of the cultural mapping phase of Making Culture Count . It will also discuss integrating culture-led economic activities into municipal strategic planning .

Making Culture Count! cultural planning process underscores the importance of collectively leveraging the role of local artisans and agri-food industry in culture-led economic development for this beautiful rurally set Oceanside community .

The presentation will also focus on demonstrating creative leadership in community development and explore the ‘highs and lows’ of leadership in community empowerment .

Creative Consultations: Communicate, Collaborate and Create! Goal: to develop and carry-out a unique celebratory community consultation process . Recognizing the challenges associated with multiple planning activities and the need to celebrate the achievements of cultural groups to-date, Making Culture Count! is offering a unique consultation process that will combine creatively-driven activities in the community along with traditional consultation methodologies (focus groups, forums, interviews, open houses and public meetings) .

The outcomes of these creative consultations provide further input into the development of cultural strategies and can be used as a means to promote the project .

This approach has been proven to help build community awareness of cultural achievements, extend engagement with residents, and facilitate their ownership of the resulting cultural strategy1 . 1 Grogen and Mercer, Arts Queensland (1995) .

Flower Power Reborn

The presentation will highlight the challenges of maintaining a city’s public art collection and the determination and creativity that is required to recover from ruin . It is an important lesson for all communities interested in building and maintaining a long-term public art collection .

On the occasion of Canada’s centennial in 1967, the former City of Toronto hosted an important international sculpture symposium that invited 12 Canadian and international sculptors to create works of art that were located in the City’s grand High Park . One of the young sculptors, American Mark Di Suvero, created a large work of public art named “Flower Power” . This work was one of the first major pieces of his career . At the end of the exhibition, the sculpture was generously donated to the City . While Mark Di Suvero went on to establish himself as one of the major American sculptors of the 20th Century, the City allowed the “Flower Power” to fall into a state of ruin . After the amalgamation of the new City of Toronto in 1998, Cultural Services was determined to restore this valuable work of public art under a new public art maintenance program .

“Flower Power Reborn” presentation will describe how the Toronto Culture staff were able to overcome significant challenges to work with the community and private sector to first rebuild the relationship with the artist, remove “Flower Power” from High Park, send it to the artist’s studio on Long Island New York, and have it completely restored under the supervision of Mark Di Suvero . After 10 years of effort, “Flower Power” was returned to Toronto in 2010 and sited in a new prime downtown location in its full glory .

Municipal and Community Partnerships: Nocturne

In 2008, a small group of young, arts-minded community members came together to initiate Nocturne: Art at Night . Nocturne, a free public event held a Saturday in mid-October from 6 p .m . - midnight, showcases and celebrates the visual arts scene in Halifax, Nova Scotia . Designed and planned by volunteers, the event is an opportunity for everyone to experience Halifax’s art scene in a whole new light . Since its humble beginnings, the event has grown, drawing over 20,000 viewers in 2011, 100s of artists, and changed the cultural sphere of Halifax and the Maritimes . In 2006 the Halifax Regional Municipality adopted the HRM Cultural Plan, a document which guides the Municipality in its investment in arts and culture . Nocturne has enabled HRM to progressively move forward with this plan, and initiated a community discussion about the importance of access and exposure to the arts and its impact as a catalyst for understanding and engagement .

This presentation will discuss the role of the HRM in supporting grass roots community arts initiatives . It will present funding challenges from perspectives of both the Municipality and the Nocturne committee . Municipal cultural staff will share their role in assisting artists and volunteers in its processes, as well as engaging and educating staff from different departments to support and participate in this initiative . Nocturne organizers will share their experience of volunteer capacity and how, through the support of the arts community and various departments of HRM, they have established a significant cultural event that showcases the creativity that exists within the Municipality and creates continued opportunities for artists and individuals working in creative professions . Lastly, this presentation will share the outcomes of this initiative, including the impact on the professional development of artists, and the changing perspectives of audiences of the value of the arts .

Rediscover Your Community Cultural Mapping & Heritage Celebration

“The key to a nation’s future is in her past . A nation that loses it has no future . For men’s deepest desire - the instrument by which a continuing society moulds its destiny - spring from their own inherited experience .” Arthur Bryant, 1940

Canadians are beginning to recognize the value of our rich and dynamic history . Communities are realizing economic benefits from promoting and acknowledging their unique natural and cultural heritage resources and assets .

While completing a comprehensive cultural mapping project for the small Northern Ontario town of Wawa, J . Rowe Heritage Consulting helped the community discover a wealth of rich and diverse elements which tell a unique story . The struggling municipality of under 3,000 residents, provided their input on almost 300 cultural resources . These rediscovered assets have become the foundation for a variety of tourism and community building projects aimed at increasing community pride, raising our profile and encouraging creative ideas and activities which celebrate Wawa’s authentic history and quality of place .

Heritage Doors, Glenn Gould Tribute Tours, Gales of November Photography, Wawapalooza and Blueberry Harvesting are just some of the recent initiatives that are helping Wawa make the transition from a traditional natural resource based industrial town to a creative economy .

It would give me great pleasure to share the results of this rediscovery process from my hometown . Wawa is situated on a remote section of the Trans-Canada Highway on the magnificent east shore of Lake Superior . Cultural mapping has been the right step to a brighter future .

East Meets West Downtown

Cities often consider the rejuvenation of older industrial and commercial areas to encourage cultural commerce and tourism . This can be done while maintaining or interpreting aspects of the structures and streetscapes that represent the unique character of the community and the era of original construction . Revitalizing downtown cores is complex and often expensive and can yield variable results, yet it does provide opportunities for the arts and cultural community to contribute and thrive . Individual producers, non-profits groups and commercial enterprises can provide an array of products and services in this environment for residents and visitors . This can also enhance the identity of the community and be a source of renewed community pride and celebration .

The City of Burnaby is 110 years old, and unlike many cities in Canada to the east, it is relatively young . It does not have much in the way of an old “downtown core” and is absent of larger old prominent public buildings like court houses, libraries, train stations and cathedrals, much less quaint streets with surviving older shops, hotels and restaurants . Western Canadian suburban communities in metropolitan districts may lack commercial or industrial warehouse districts that can be “gentrified”, yet may have an interest in cultural tourism and enterprise development . Rather than recycling the old, they have to consider construction of the new to help make this happen .

With density bonuses and other developer contributions, resources can be assembled and agendas combined with Cities and the creative community to help create unique cultural sectors in mid-sized cities .

Chicago Cultural Plan 2012: Lessons Learned

In 2012, the City of Chicago embarked on its first cultural plan since 1986 . The plan was monumental in its breadth, challenges, and opportunities for engagement and innovation .

At stake was a vision for a city that recognized it could not rest on its laurels . Like so many communities throughout North America, Chicago looked towards a cultural plan that could respond to a rapidly changing landscape of cultural consumption and participation .

Issues facing major metropolises in Canada and the U .S . were front and center from Day One: linking culture with neighborhood vitality, economic development, attraction and retention of artists, sustaining a world-class brand as trends in cultural participation continue to shift dramatically .

Toronto-based firm Lord Cultural Resources spearheaded the process, offering lessons learned through best practices in Canada and worldwide .

An extensive neighborhood and social media campaign, buy-in process, and forums for citizen-led innovative initiatives marked the process . The Cultural Plan itself is a model for all communities to consider, one that emphasizes citywide resource building, an engagement process that lasts well past the Plan’s completion, and strengthened collaborations across and within the cultural sector .

Public Art in a Shifting Economy – Meeting new Demands

Thunder Bay, located in the centre of Canada, is a vibrant community with a metro population of more than 120,000 residents . Built on traditional industry, in recent years the community has been experiencing a shift towards a knowledge economy based largely in research and development in molecular medicine .

While the City has had a Public Art Policy and Advisory Committee since 1988, it has only been in the last five years that there has been significant development in the Public Art Program . Additional policies (Cultural Policy, 2005; Clean, Green & Beautiful Policy, 2007), combined with the creation of a Cultural Services Section and associated positions, and more recently, the development of the Inspire Thunder Bay Culture Plan, have put Public Art in the spotlight and created a demand that never existed in the past .

Since 2009, over eighteen new significant public art works have been commissioned and installed, with almost half being part of the City’s new waterfront re-development . In comparison, there were a mere three major installations from 1981-2000 . This exponential increase in demand has created a number of challenges and learning opportunities that we believe would be of interest to other municipalities across the country .

The rapid development of the Program has required creating new procedures, programs and ways of working . A few examples that will be highlighted include:

• workingwithSupplyManagementandLegalServicesDivisionstocreateartist-friendlydocuments and procedures

• providingcapacity-buildingtraininganddevelopmentopportunitiesforlocalartists,suchasaPublic Art credit course offered in partnership with Lakehead University

• balancinginterestsofartistsandcontractorswhenprojectsdonotgoasplanned–construction liens, changes of scope, cancellations

Remember ARTember: Or how to launch a festival without losing your mind

On October 2, 2011 Airdrie residents, volunteers, firefighters and provincial representatives came to cap off a 17 day festival of the arts by lighting floating candles and setting them off to float on a public pond while local musicians provided ambient music . This final event marked the end of the first ever arts festival in the City of Airdrie - ARTember . A festival that started earnest planning only 4 months previous .

How do you get a first time festival off the ground in less than six months? Creative Airdrie Society founder Sherry Shaw-Froggatt walks you through the timeline, the hurdles and the “rules we broke to get there” plus shares the inspiring story of how a whole community rallied behind the arts with over 18,000 participants, more than 90 different corporate and community partners, 700 artists and performers, 41 venues and more than $100,000 in cash and in-kind donations . Did we mention it happened in less than six months?
