Psst - If you haven’t heard about this…

This evening, at 6:30 pm, the 2012 speakers series “Percolate. Brewing Ideas with…Douglas McLennan” will be taking place at the Matrix hotel. Presented by the Alberta Museums Association, Edmonton Arts Council, Edmonton Heritage Council and MacEwan University, the topic of the evening will be “Liquid Culture: How the Digital Revolution is Transforming the Arts.”

In the press release for the event, McLennan states that: “The digital communication revolution is transforming the ways culture is be made, distributed and shared. Culture has become a more liquid act. The making of art doesn’t end when the artist delivers it. In a new social media culture built on sharing, what a community does with art is part of the artistic process. This argues for new relationships between artists, arts institutions and their community. And it suggests that our traditional cultural institutions need to evolve the ways they do business.”

I’ll be there with bells on. I’m looking forward to the presentation and the discussion that will follow, and I’ll be posting my own comments/observations/responses later this week!
