Free Admission to Provincial Historic Sites and Museums During Alberta Arts Days September 14, 2011 Free admission to provincial historic sites and museums during Alberta Arts Days Edmonton... Alberta’s provincially owned historic sites and museums will be offering free admission and special arts programming during Alberta Arts Days, September 30 to October 2. All provincial attractions that are regularly open will offer free admission for each of the three days. Frank Slide Interpretive Centre Remington Carriage Museum Government House Reynolds-Alberta Museum Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump Royal Alberta Museum Lougheed House Royal Tyrrell Museum Oil Sands Discovery Centre Rutherford House Provincial Archives of Alberta “There is so much to discover during Alberta Arts Days,” said Lindsay Blackett, Minister of Alberta Culture and Community Spirit. “Albertans can indulge their own creative side, enjoy a community event or explore our shared heritage at a provincial historic site or museum. It’s a great opportunity for people of every age, background and experience to celebrate Alberta’s arts and culture.” Now in its fourth year, Alberta Arts Days is a celebration of culture, heritage, artistic diversity and provincial pride. Community groups and organizations are encouraged to show their support for local art and culture by hosting an event or activity. In 2010, 91 Alberta communities hosted 681 activities. AlbertaArtsDays.ca provides event planning guides, customizable posters and many other resources to assist event organizers. The site also features the Alberta Culture Calendar, a listing of Alberta Arts Days events throughout the province. Organizers are asked to register their Alberta Arts Days event on the calendar and Albertans are encouraged to check the site often for new events in their communities. Alberta Arts Days is helping to achieve the goals of our province’s cultural policy, The Spirit of Alberta, which is designed around four keystones: access, capacity, excellence and cultural industries. It is also part of Culture Days - a national movement to raise the awareness, accessibility, participation and engagement of all Canadians in the arts and cultural life of their communities. -30- Backgrounder: List of activities at provincial museums and historic sites Media inquiries may be directed to: Parker Hogan Communications Alberta Culture and Community Spirit 780-427-6530; cell 780-914-2869 To call toll free within Alberta dial 310-0000.
