| 2. What are the benefits of the Shenkman Arts Centre Project? | | | The Shenkman Arts Centre will make a profound impact on the cultural life of the city. It will play a vital, catalytic role in ensuring artists are given the forum they need to nurture creativity and audiences are given access to dynamic and thought provoking arts programming in a facility that matches creative excellence. The Centre will be a community focal point and gathering place for young and old, offering English and French programs at all levels. Local artists and arts organizations will directly benefit from the completion of this eagerly awaited centre for creativity. The Shenkman Arts Centre will provide a forum for a myriad of activities under one roof. Just imagine a dynamic centre in which a media artist has access to the latest technology to express his ideas; young and old alike can learn how to paint or sculpt; a local theatre group is holding rehearsals for its next play; a school group is enjoying an interactive exhibit in the gallery; and community members are listening to the inspiring music of a chamber orchestra. The goal of the centre is to establish a creative hub that will:- provide access to arts and culture programs;
- promote the advancement of arts education;
- encourage the personal development of youth through the arts;
- provide employment for artists, within a professional purpose-built facility; and
- create opportunities for the growth and development of local arts organizations.
