WHAT ARE YOU DOING FOR
ARTSWEEK?
Toronto
Arts Council Foundation launches its What
Are You Doing For ArtsWeek? campaign today. ArtsWeek
is a highly-inclusive annual festival that celebrates all
the arts everywhere in the City of Toronto.
Toronto Arts Council Foundation recently acquired ArtsWeek
from Arts Toronto and the festival fits perfectly with the
Foundation's mandate of Great
Arts/Great City – generating awareness of the
local art scene and greater consumer spending on the arts.
ArtsWeek will attract a million people from the local community
and through tourism by showcasing the arts to media and
consumers alike – at the start of the fall performance
and exhibition season. Visitors will have access to a breadth
of presenting venues including concert halls, theatres,
galleries, museums, artist studios and a number of festivals
– in parks, campuses, neighbourhoods and retail environments.
Mayor David Miller has proclaimed ArtsWeek 2004 an official
City event and will host a gigantic public kick-off event
at Nathan Phillips Square on September 23. This year is
the inauguration of two exciting initiatives; the What
Are You Doing For ArtsWeek? campaign and the official
ArtsWeek Passport will be important, wide reaching web-based
and print promotional tools.
What Are You Doing For ArtsWeek? will feature
celebrities, artists, entrepreneurs, restaurateurs, educators,
neighbours and friends proclaiming what they are doing to
mark the occasion of ArtsWeek 2004.
The Passport will feature valuable editorial about ArtsWeek
and a chance to win one of a number of high value prizes
on twelve beautifully printed panels.
ArtsWeek 2004 will take place September 23 to October 3
but you can get started right now by visiting www.ArtsWeek.ca
and telling us how you'll celebrate the arts in Toronto.
