This from the Professional Arts Coalition of Edmonton:
Have a heart-to-heart chat with Alberta election candidates about their parties’ visions for arts, culture and heritage in our province.
PACE is organizing an Arts Forum for this Friday, April 20 at 7:30 p.m. in the Jefferson Room at the Prince of Wales Armouries, 10440 – 108 Avenue.
Bring your arts, culture and heritage questions with notebooks and pencils to the Prince of Wales Armouries this Friday. Tell all your professional artist and arts supporters friends to come, too. Let’s impress upon all these candidates how important arts, culture and heritage is to all Albertans.
Party representatives confirmed so far:
- Alberta Liberals – Laurie Blakeman
- Alberta NDP – Nadine Bailey
- Alberta Party – John Hudson
- PC Alberta – Heather Klimchuk (current Minister of Culture and Community Services)
- Wildrose Party – TBA
For more information, check out the PACE website.
I find it very disturbing that the WR party seems to have a big blank in lieu of a policy regarding arts & culture. I’m interested to see if they actually send someone to this forum. If they don’t, that in itself is a strong message.
