Lots of people in this city say Calgary has a story to tell, I say that's wrong. Calgary has MORE than one story to tell. And one way to tell those stories is an animation studio. As Calgarians, we can use animation/cartooning to tell our stories. There is a profit making animation studio in Calgary already and it's hiring right now, this studio has productions lined up to create. Yes, Calgary has a story to tell and ...more »

Allow creatives to connect with each other easily to get their ideas realized. If I need help programming my microcontroller, or an installation artist needs stories, or a theatre producer needs help putting together his or her set, we should all get together and spend a bit of time helping out on each project, with the ability to get in touch with collaborators afterwards. So that cultural producers (and consumers) in ...more »

The city of New York has dedicated a series of buses to be moving monuments of people that have represented New York positively in their lives. The bus has a decal placed on it in honor of that person and a brief ceremony occurs. Calgary could do the same, honouring either Calgarians or people that have come to Calgary and become ambassadors for the city and it's people. We have musicians, athletes, actors, etc that ...more »

Calgary could do the same, honouring either Calgarians or people that have come to Calgary and become ambassadors for the city and it's people.
We have musicians, athletes, actors, etc that ought to be recognized for putting Calgary on the map for positive things.

Lets let every calgarian become a great artist and have there art viewed in public with chalk art!
We should simply suggesting that everyone go out and create there work of art on the streets and sidewalks of calgary with sidewalk chalk.
Promote a huge one day event where everyone and anyone with an idea, sidewalk chalk and time to create, can participate. Any part of the city with sidewalks, roads, pathways can becomes a blank canvas to create.
Sidewalk chalk is cheaper than paint, and will wash off during the next rain. Everybody from families, companies, the elderly, young children, collage and university students, low income families, the poor and homeless, disabled people, tourists and business men and women can even become great artists and be part of this historic citywide event.
There art and creativity will be part of the greater picture, and be included in the most colorful and creative city in the world, if only for one day.
Lets turn calgary streets and sidewalks into a blank canvas for everyone to create, and make Calgary the most creative and colorful city in the world!

Calgary could host major international and Canadian performing and visual artists during the year. The artists would be part of a series that would generate international interest in Calgary, and attract tourists to our city. The artists would be chosen to demonstrate our history, the diversity of our current cultural status, and our future aspirations.
