Paducah is a creative community, and sometimes creativity shows up in the most surprising ways. The cornerstone of creativity is a willingness to explore new or challenging ideas. The citizens of Paducah recently embraced two difficult conversations, one about race and the other about gender identities, worldwide concerns. This compassionate city had these conversations with dignity and respect. I attended my first UNESCO Creative Cities Network meeting in Enghien-les-Bains (Media Arts). I enjoyed blogging about the experience and sharing options for participating in the Network, including film festivals, literary contests and opportunities to engage in international arts festivals. In September 2017, Paducah welcomed the Creative Cities of Crafts & Folk Art for the first annual meeting of the sub-network and the first UNESCO Creative Cities meeting to be held in the United States. Focused on the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, speakers led discussions on topics from tourism to economic development and natural resources. Paducah has “leaned in” to the Creative City designation, taking flight after five years with UNESCO as our guiding post. New partnerships are key. In 2018, we will travel to San Cristobal de las Casas (Crafts & Folk Art) for “Sabores y Saberes” and host artists from Tel Aviv (Media Arts) and Rome (Film) in a project involving local musicians and actors. I predict more of our citizens will experience the Creative Cities Network with each year! Paducah’s future is bright as a regional hub of healthcare, river business, advanced manufacturing, and retail—all exploding with creative culture. As with any creative endeavor, new and inspiring adventure is always around the corner. Here, in Paducah, we are embracing what’s ahead with open minds and inspired spirits! Best Regards, Brandi Harless Mayor, City of Paducah 2 www.paducah.travel Paducah Creative City in Action The UNESCO Creative Cities Network recognizes that harnessing and cultivating creativity is essential to the prosperity of any city. Paducah is united with like-minded, forward-thinking Creative Cities focused on building better, stronger cities through creativity, culture and innovation. The six areas of action featured in this report generate platforms to fully capitalize on creative assets and global collaboration. With culture at heart, Creative Cities are taking action on the 17 Sustainable Development Goals of the 2030 Agenda to transform our world by ending poverty, protecting the planet and ensuring prosperity for all.

  • Spheres Inspired by Freehand Patchwork by Danny Amazonas at the National Quilt Museum
    QuiltMuseum.org/BlockOfTheMonth AUGUST 2019 Spheres inspired by Freehand Patchwork by Danny Amazonas at the National Quilt Museum Quilt: Levitate by Danny Amazonas AUGUST 2019 Inspiration Levitate by Danny Amazonas Freehand Patchwork by Danny Amazonas is on exhibit at the National Quilt Museum from July 12 – October 15. “I realized working with fabric is far more complicated than painting technique-wise. A fiber artist won’t be able to mix colors in a palette, but can collect an array of colors and shades of fabric in order to create a unique piece of art with a full spectrum of colors. I love to cut fabric in large chunks to show the beauty of textile designs, and those designers should be praised and credited as well. Every piece of my artwork is machine sewn with invisible thread free-motion stitches.” Danny’s use of color and value creates visual depth and movement in each quilt. This month’s Block of the Month pattern incorporates many of these elements so you can experiment with color, large-scale prints, and dimension. Page 2 AUGUST 2019 Quilter: Danny Amazonas “I was born in Taiwan and always loved art in Danny Amazonas all forms. As a jack-of-all-trades I tried painting, sculpture, making gold jewelry, professional floral design, and even got into international cuisine! In the early ‘80s, I was working with mosaic art using various materials. When I returned home to Taiwan in the ’90s, I discovered the world of colorful fabrics and the art of quilting. I perceived quilting as the art of sewing pieces of fabric together to create a beautiful design.

  • The Problem of Democracy in the ASEAN Creative City: the Cases of Chiang Mai, Bandung, Cebu, and George Town
    - 43 - The problem of democracy in the ASEAN Creative City: the cases of Chiang Mai, Bandung, Cebu, and George Town Phitchakan Chuangchai Article Information Issue 24: 2019: Special Issue ‘Development, Democracy and Culture’, Clammer, J. and Vickery, J., eds. This article was published on: 20th January 2020. Keywords: cities; urbanism; urban cultural policy; ASEAN; creative city movement; cultural democracy Journal ISSN: 1467-0437 Article DOI: https://doi.org/10.31273/LGD.2019.2403 Abstract The ‘Creative City’ is a global policy trend that has, evidently, been adopted by many cities around the world. At the beginning of the putative post-industrial era (early-1970s) major cities across the Europe and USA faced significant economic and social transition, specifically when their economic core was progressively hollowed out as industrial production migrated to Asia or to other, cheaper, regions. There were demonstrable urban impacts of this transition, including poverty, crime, and a generalised underdevelopment. The Creative City discourse dates to this period in the UK, when cultural consultants like Charles Landry and Franco Bianchini recognised the conditions of urban change and the potential role of culture as a framework for policy intervention. They proposed new strategic approaches, which evolved and became influential within international policy spheres — British Council, UNESCO, and regional networks, such as ASEAN. In the Southeast Asian region, the Creative City discourse was welcomed by the Association of the Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), and a significant number of the major cities of the associated ten countries are currently using the Creative City as a model or framework for economic growth, social progress and cultural development (and as a broader means of internationalisation, cultural diplomacy and benefitting from UN-level development framework participation).
