City recognized with national Culture Days award

“We were excited to partner with the City of Camrose for an outdoor free Fountain Tire Family Series event during Alberta Culture Days,” explained Jeannie and Peter Lougheed Performing Arts Centre general manager Nick Beach. “We were so happy to present magician Sheldon Cassavant with his show, Exploring the Impossible (held outdoors on museum grounds). This was our first large-gathering event since March 2020, with over 400 adults and children enjoying this great family fun.
“I strongly believe that Camrose is one of the most culturally alive cities in Canada, so it was really great to see us be recognized as a top presenter community.”
Some events occurring around Camrose during Culture Days tapped into the creative side of attendees as well through art classes and community painted murals.
“The Camrose Arts Society is thrilled to have taken part in Culture Days 2021,” remarked Camrose Arts Society Arts Engagement manager Jason Dufresne. “It was amazing to see the city come to life with several mural projects. We’re very much looking forward to the 2022 edition.”
Many of the events were located in or near Downtown Camrose, which afforded residents and visitors the opportunity to take in the many shops and services of Downtown Camrose as well.
“Downtown Camrose enjoyed being part of an enthusiastic group of individuals working together to create a variety of experiences during Alberta Culture Days,” said Downtown Camrose manager Jennifer Filip. “From businesses participating in building scarecrows to live entertainment, there was opportunity for everyone to enjoy getting out and exploring Camrose. We are thrilled to be in the top 10 participating communities for 2021 and look forward to planning for next year.”
Taking place in a central location also meant being able to easily bring the entertainment to the crowd, which is exactly what Camrose Public Library staff did with the Book Bike and Story Time around Mirror Lake.
“There have been so few opportunities to safely come together and celebrate these past two years, so I was quite grateful that Camrose Public Library was able to participate in Culture Days this year,” commented Camrose Public Library interim director Alyssa Martin. “All of the organizers did such a great job finding safe and creative ways to bring some joy and camaraderie to Camrose in a difficult time, and there’s a sense of pride in belonging to a community that prioritizes the arts and culture in this way. Having events like this remind us that we are a part of a community, and that we are not just living isolated, parallel lives; I think that is an important message right now.”
Martin is hopeful that similar events can take place in the new year. “And bring more reasons to experience joy.”
Beyond the national recognition, the event was so successful in highlighting the incredible arts and culture within the community, plans are already in the making for 2022.
“One of the great things that came out of this is we have already decided we are doing this again next year,” said Patullo. “The collaboration and bringing it to the community, and just having September being full of arts and culture for the community.”
The Create A Splash 2021 did just that, created a splash that rippled around Camrose, not only showcasing its wonderful art and culture, but bringing with it a sense of hope and joy.
