About Culture Days
Culture Days is a collaborative coast-to-coast-to-coast volunteer movement to raise the awareness, accessibility, participation and engagement
of Canadians in the arts and cultural life of their communities. With
the support of a National Steering Committee and volunteer Provincial
and Territorial Task Forces, thousands of activity organizers
self-mobilize at the grassroots level to present and coordinate free public activities that take place throughout the country over the last weekend of September each year.
The third annual Culture Days weekend will take place September 28, 29 and 30, 2012,
and will feature thousands of free, hands-on, interactive activities
that invite the public to participate “behind-the-scenes,” to discover
the world of artists, creators, historians, architects, curators,
designers and other creative people in their communities.
With thousands of activities registered at culturedays.ca, and with the support of media partners like the CBC, Globe and Mail and St. Joseph Communications (Canadian Family, Where, Fashion and Toronto Life
magazines), Culture Days drives a multi-level national communications
and public relations campaign designed to inspire and catalyze greater
public participation in the arts and cultural life of our communities. A
variety of free, useful Tips and Tools
are available to support activity organizers throughout the process of
planning, promoting and executing their Culture Days activities.
