This initiative invites individuals and organizations to propose creative projects, events and programs that will transform existing venues and spaces in the downtown area with the support of the RISE UP Downtown Vibrancy Program. We have the opportunity to reimagine downtown and how our community connects. We believe arts and culture are at the heart of our city’s vibrancy, and when we make opportunities for artists to create, magic happens!
The call is for local artists, performers, presenters, venues, and community groups! We went on the search for partners—local venues, groups or individual performers and presenters —who can produce, program and provide live arts entertainment and/or experiences to local audiences.
When investment is directed to empower artist performances in the downtown core, subsequent benefits can support the downtown revitalization strategy. Benefits include building a sense of place and belonging for all Calgarians, attracting new business, and making downtown Calgary a desirable place for Calgarians to live, work and play. As we fill up our vacant spaces and existing venues, let’s imagine arts organizations, businesses, artists, executives, and hospitality professionals all working and living side-by-side.
RISE UP knows how the arts support downtown revitalization by building a sense of place and belonging for all Calgarians, attracting new business, and making our downtown a desirable place for Calgarians to live, work and play.
RISE UP is an open-source platform in Calgary’s arts industry, connecting you to live experiences and events, and supporting local artists and businesses
