ArtsLink NB, Industrial Parks Collective, and USTATION are pleased to announce the official launch of the Creative Spaces project.
This event will include a presentation of the project, it’s partners and a showcase of local arts and culture featuring paintings by member artists, live drawing with Brandon Hicks, and DJ No No spinning tunes.
Funded through the Saint John Arts Board, Creative Spaces is a summer-long project to identify key areas of need for space among artists, creative professionals, and arts organizations, with outreach activities aimed at local businesses, arts organizations, and property owners to identify spaces in the city that are appropriate for use as art studios, offices, and performing arts events.
Are you an artist or creative professional in need of studio space, workspace, or performance space? You are encouraged to complete our Creative Spaces Survey online: https://forms.gle/wf5NoNVknbrYKpXw8
| Participate in the Cultural Venues Datathon |
 |
| Cultural venues are an important part of the performing arts ecosystem in Canada. Theatres, concert halls, black boxes, music venues: these buildings located across the country provide the best possible settings for audiences to experience the outstanding performances our artists can deliver. However, there is still no comprehensive open database of performing arts venues. This makes it difficult for these venues, and the productions they present, to be found online by audiences. Let’s change that! Produced by LaCogency, CAPACOA and with the support of many partners, the Cultural Venues Datathon will bring participants together to work in a relaxed and informal environment to populate Wikidata with information about the many cultural venues we know and love. The Cultural Venues Datathon is being offered in both English and French with 4 separate drop-in sessions dedicated to each language. Datathon Launch: Monday, April 25 at 3:00-5:30 p.m. EDT / 7:00-8:30 p.m. UTC Guided activities in English: Tuesday, April 26 / Thursday, April 28 Coaching Time: 12:00-1:30 pm EDT / 4:00-5:30 pm UTC Datathon Closing: May 2, 12:00-12:30 EST / 16:00-16:30 UTC No previous experience with Wikidata is required. At each session experienced wikidatians will guide participants on how to input cultural venue information into Wikidata. This (Wiki)Datathon is intended to be a unifying activity that supports the overall goals of the Wikiproject Cultural venues. Find more information and registration details HERE. |
