CREATIVE CONSTRUCT:
Building for Culture and Creativity


INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM
APRIL 29 TO MAY 1, 2008
OTTAWA, ONTARIO, CANADA


Arts and culture are increasingly recognized as integral and necessary
components of our social fabric, contributing to the economy and quality
of life in cities and communities. In our increasingly mobile and diverse
society, investments in culture and creativity are essential to building
vibrant, competitive, and sustainable communities for the twenty-first
century.
One of the key factors in a community’s cultural ecosystem is space.
Cultural/creative spaces provide the foundation for artistic creation and
presentation, they are important focal points for community milestones and
events, they provide opportunities for intercultural exchange and
dialogue, they protect and nurture cultural resources, they offer social
supports and services, they serve as economic, social, and artistic
incubators ... and they can be catalysts for community change and
development.

The Creative Construct: Building for Culture and Creativity symposium will
bring together participants from around the world to exchange the latest
ideas and practices on the development of cultural and creative spaces;
cultural planning and investment strategies for cultural infrastructure
and cultural districts; and collaborative approaches to enhancing the
cultural vitality, creative potential, and competitiveness of cities and
communities.




KEY THEMES
Re-Think: Placing culture and creativity at the core of learning, working,
and living

Re-Design: Innovation and diversity in creative spaces: Exploring the
possibilities

Re-Mix: Setting the stage for opportunity
Re-Invent: Improving the policy-funding framework for place-based cultural
infrastructure

Road Map: Leadership and collaborative strategies to advance culture and
creativity
