As a change of pace this coming Thursday April 2nd we are having a book signing at the gallery. Gord Hume, the author and local politician, will be on hand to autograph copies of his book titled "Cultural Planning for Creative Communities". Glen Murray, former Winnipeg mayor and present head of the Canadian Urban Institute, wrote the forward. Glen has an international reputation for being in the forefront of promoting innovative civic programs. Noteworthy Cultural Planning advocates and practitioners who have contributed their expertise to this book include:
Greg Baeker. principal of Authenticity in Toronto and an acknowledged expert in cultural mapping.
Tim Jones. head of Artscape, an innovator in creative community projects
Nancy Duxbury, former director of the Creative City Network of Canada. Nancy is presently the executive director of the Centre for expertise on Culture and Communities. Ms. Duxbury is also an adjunct professor at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver.
Cultural Planning for Creative Communities offers a proven insider's look at forming roundtables and community action groups for cultural planning. It details cultural mapping and outlines the process local governments can take to implement municipal cultural planning.
I strongly belive in creative city initiatives and am pleased to provide a venue and an opportunity to further awareness of cultural planning and its place in our communities.
