Crawl map at any participating location. Visit each location, meet the
artists, see their work and get your map stamped. Visit all eight locations to
complete the crawl, drop off your completed map at your last stop to enter for
your chance to win some cool Uptown Leamington prizes (see the map for contest
details). For a complete list of business, please visit www.leamingtonartscentre.com, starting

About
Culture Days
Culture Days raises the awareness,
accessibility,
participation
and engagement
of Canadians in the arts and cultural life of their communities. With the
support of volunteer groups at the national, provincial and local levels,
hundreds of thousands of artists, cultural workers, organizations and groups,
volunteers and supporters self-mobilize to host free participatory public activities
that take place in hundreds of cities and towns throughout the country over the
last weekend of September each year.
“Culture
Days offers an incredible opportunity for Canadians across the country to not
only explore but to participate in the cultural communities and activities that
exist in their areas that they may have not even be aware of before.” - Udayan
(Oakville, ON)
The fourth annual Culture Days
weekend will take place September
27, 28 and 29, 2013, and will feature thousands of free,
hands-on, interactive activities that invite the public to participate
“behind-the-scenes,” to discover the world of artists, creators, historians,
architects, curators, designers and other creative people in their communities.
