CreativeCITY: Prosperity through the Creative Economy
CreativeCITY is a collaborative effort where we draw from research, community engagement, and creative leadership to maintain a living strategy for a vibrant creative economy in Calgary.
In the first half of 2021, Calgary Arts Development participated in the creation of an ecosystem report exploring Calgary’s creative economy alongside partners from Bird Creatives, RISE UP Calgary, Calgary Economic Development, The City of Calgary, and CityXLab.
We recognize the significant economic, social, human, and environmental contributions of Calgary’s creative economy. At the same time, we see that it is often underleveraged and overlooked due to a creative ecosystem that is fragmented and inefficient. We are looking to change that!
