The Big Canvas

Those nice people who brought us the Great Expectations discussion series during the mayoral race are at it again. This time they invite us to consider the region's cultural landscape.

The Big Canvas will ask the region's citizens how they use its arts and culture assets, how they value them, what steps they'd favor to preserve and enhance them, and how they'd be willing to pay for all this.

The goal: A regional cultural strategy that citizens will support because they helped craft it, a strategy that reflects their values. The yield from this initiative will be presented to political leaders at a Big Canvas Confab in the fall.


The first discussion is set for Bucks County on July 8 with others following throughout the month.
