Artsweek 2010: September 18 to 25
Artsweek is the City of Peterborough's annual celebration of the arts, featuring eight days of innovative contemporary arts programming. Features include site-specific visual art installations, multi-disciplinary original performance, thought-provoking film and video screenings, live concerts, readings, and culturally enriching festivities for all ages. Artsweek is an opportunity for local and regional arts, culture and business sectors to come together, to encourage collaborative projects, events, and/or activities that entice and enrich diverse audiences. All events are free and open to the public.
Artsweek's Mission
1. To support and promote arts and cultural programming in Peterborough and the surrounding region.
2. To increase the visibility and vital role of the arts sector within the City of Peterborough by coordinating an annual showcase of local arts production including visual, performing and new media arts.
3. To support artists and arts groups working in a wide variety of artistic disciplines in the creation and production of new works, and to promote collaborative, large-scale public art projects that would not be possible otherwise.
4. To create opportunities for arts, culture and business sectors to work together by inviting businesses, community arts organizations, arts service organizations, arts centers, public and private galleries to produce projects and programs with Artsweek in mind.
5. To advance, foster and promote appreciation and understanding of arts and culture by promoting local arts production, resources and educational opportunities.
6. To support local producers and organizations whose mandate is open and inclusive.
