The Carrot Featured On CKUA’s “Arts Alive”
Monday, December 14th, 2009
On November 26th, Arts On The Ave was featured on CKUA’s “Arts Alive”, along with AOTA President Christy Morin. The story features a lot of goods for the arts in our city, and you can discover more, and hear the piece, with the links at the bottom of this post.
Here is an excerpt from CKUA:
On Arts Alive today……Edmonton receives a national award for the Alberta Avenue revitalization.
Musicians and artists, among others, have worked with the City of Edmonton to transform 118th Avenue into an arts destination they call Alberta Avenue. Among the projects flowing from the revitalization are the Carrot Community Arts Coffeehouse, the Kaleido and Deep Freeze Festivals and the soon to be renovated Alberta Cycle Building, along with improved sidewalks and streets, updated and new businesses.
A recent national award from the Institute of Public Administration in Canada – the Public Sector Leadership Bronze Award for Municipalities – presented to the City of Edmonton, celebrated those ventures. Christy Morin works with the Revitalization Committee and is the founder of Arts on the Avenue. She and Kathy Barnhart, Branch Manager, for Neighbourhood and Community Development with the City’s Community Services Department spoke with Chris Allen about the award and the reasons it was given to the city.Listen to the November 26th show
Kathy says that the Arts on the Avenue initiative has spawned a number of similar projects for other communities in Edmonton under the new umbrella of the Great Neighbourhoods Program, and that other cities have asked for information on the program.
