Donate to support Red Deer Culture Days!
Red Deer Culture Days' events engage visitors and residents alike with an eclectic mix of arts, culture and creativity! This month-long local event is a part of Alberta Culture Days led in co-operation with various community organizations by the Red Deer Arts Council. Alberta Culture Days began in 2008 as Alberta Arts Day, a one-day event to recognize the value of Alberta's arts and cultural communities. Throughout its 15 year lifespan it has expanded into a vibrant, province-wide celebration that has helped inspire the creation of Culture Days - a pan-Canadian movement to raise the awareness, accessibility, participation and engagement of all Canadians in the arts and cultural life of their communities.
Red Deer Culture Days hosts numerous events around Red Deer in the month of September, which include but are not limited to:
- Art Galleries
- Live Performances
- Theatre
- Art Workshops
- Activities for all ages
We've had open studio tours to get to see the creative process of artists, Anne of Green Gables tea parties and many more unique experiences!
Funds put toward this campaign will be put towards school bus subsidies, rental fees, program expenses, promotions, and professional fees for artists.
Help Support Creative Red Deer!
We are the Red Deer Arts
Council; a not-for-profit charitable organization dedicated to
promoting local creativity and culture throughout Red Deer and Central
Alberta. For nearly 50 years, we have been running events and
promoting literary, performing and visual arts. With our new expanded
office downtown, we are now able to host Arts Council related events
such as poetry readings, art exhibits, concerts, and much, much more.
Imagine a day without arts and culture.
No music in your headphones, no concerts to attend, no decorations in your office or any stylish graphic t-shirts. No architecture, video games, storytelling, books, logos, no music ... The list of creative outlets we'd lose each day goes on. It would be devastating to our humanity.
The arts are integral to our daily lives and communities. They are the backbone of our identities and our individual cultures. Art creates inclusivity; it creates a voice for all people. These voices need to be heard.
Help keep arts and culture alive in Red Deer!
In order to keep art alive, the community has to step in. Without a space to encourage the development of art, we risk the loss of culture and of opportunities to create impactful art to breathe life into our communities. Over the course of our nearly 50 years of operations, we have continuously worked with the City of Red Deer and numerous other associations to display the work of local artists and fund artists' dreams through scholarships and awards.
