Arts and culture results to be shared at open house

Oct 25, 2018 | 4:39 PM

The results of an online survey about arts and culture facilities in Red Deer will be shared at an open house on Thursday, December 6 (revised date).

The survey is part of the Cultural Facility Needs Assessment project. Approved by Council in 2016, the goal of the project is to determine what type of arts and culture facility would best meet the needs of Red Deer and the surrounding region.

“Everyone is invited to attend the open house, where we’ll be sharing our initial findings and asking for input from the community and stakeholders on key areas,” said Tara O’Donnell, Culture Superintendent. “This is an opportunity for us to share what we’ve heard so far, ensure it rings true, and better understand the needs, challenges and opportunities for arts and culture in Red Deer and the broader region.”

The open house will complete the public participation phase the Cultural Facilities Needs Assessment project and a report is expected to go forward to Council by the end of this year.
