Welcome to the new ACI culture blog for Newfoundland Labrador

As part of our ongoing mandate to promote and provide space for communication between our stakeholders (eg, the professional artists and arts organizations of the province, the public, and the government), ACI has developed this blog where we will occasionally post on pan-cultural current issues of interest.

One of the challenges of running a pan-provincial organization in Newfoundland Labrador is getting out to all the nooks and crannies of invested, dedicated artists and organizations scattered here and there. Besides the financial challenges, there is also the matter of human resources and time. We just can't cover it all. So we re-envisioned the ACI web portal as a place where the communities we represent can come together to inform each other: of events, training opportunities, job postings (coming!), and issues at the provincial and federal levels that affect us all.

We see this blog space as an extra tool of communication and commentary, allowing ACI to point out items that might be of interest, while also providing space for the community to comment. If you have any pan-cultural items (ie, news that affects all or many aspects of arts and culture) you think might be suitable for posting, please send to execdir@aci.nfld.net

If you want to post a comment on any item, you simply need to create a MY ACINL account and start posting. Remember to tag yourself to your primary artistic subsectors (ie, dance, theatre, music, visual, etc) when you create your account so your artist profile will appear in those subsector listings.

We look forward to hearing your opinions on items we post. And while some issues might inspire passion and even anger, we encourage everyone to keep their words on topic and respectful.
