  3. Why now? In 2009, the London Arts Council held a roundtable session with members of London’s arts community to discuss how best to recognize certain milestones we have achieved and continue to build on the amazing momentum the London Arts scene has realized in the last many years. Our thinking initially centered around a one-time celebration however; it quickly changed to creating an awareness campaign for the arts to:

  5. Timing is everything… While planning at the local level started to take shape, a national campaign was afoot which had some of the hallmarks of our local campaign, we contacted the National Project Director David Moss in Montreal and asked to have London’s name added to the list of City’s interested in being part of a national movement to celebrate culture in Canada. The national campaign is called “Culture Days” www.culturedays.ca, and the London Arts Council is working aggressively to have London recognized through our local “heART” campaign.

  6. Strong support We have experienced strong support and commitmentfor the campaign from community leaders such as London Transit Commission, London Public Library, RTraction, London Convention Centre, City of London, Downtown London, ReForest London, /A\ Channel, London Economic Development Corporation, The Beat and the list continues to grow as community partners of the arts find out about our initiative.
