Unlike existing festival studies which incorporate social capital into their analysis from the sole perspective of organisers, attendees or local communities, this research focuses upon the sum of relationships between organisers and participants (defined as artists, performers, organisations and venues). The case study is LightNight Liverpool, a not-for-profit, free to attend, annual one-night arts festival organised by community interest company Open Culture. The use of a third sector festival is deliberate, with my reasoning being that the lack of payment to participants would increase the necessity of attributes of social capital to effectively programme and deliver events. The fieldwork took place between January-September 2018 utilising a mixed-methods approach to explore relationships formed within the festival, combining documentary analysis, netnography (analysing social media interactions) and semi-structured interviews. I position Liverpool’s hosting of the 2008 European Capital of Culture designation within the city’s contemporary use of culture as a central component of its urban regeneration strategy. Explaining Open Culture’s changing role post-Capital of Culture, I examine the links between LightNight Liverpool and the trend of festivalization. I argue that through theming the programme and integrating existing creative communities and cultural quarters, Open Culture have successfully marked the festival with differentiation. Through an analysis of austerity induced cuts to arts funding, I contrast the wider pertinence

  • Culture Night 2009
    Belfast City Council Report to: Development Committee Subject: Culture Night 2009 Date: 13 May 2009 Reporting Officer: Marie-Thérèse McGivern, Director of Development, ext 3470 Contact Officer: Shirley McCay, Head of Economic Initiatives, ext 3459 Relevant Background Information The Temple Bar Cultural Trust has developed and delivered a Dublin Culture Night annually since 2006. In 2008 Dermot McLaughlin, Chief Executive of Temple Bar Cultural Trust approached members of the Cathedral Quarter Steering Group and Arts Council Northern Ireland to explore the development of a Belfast Culture Night. On 27 November 2008 the CQSG hosted a meeting to give the Temple Bar Cultural Trust team the opportunity to make a presentation on Culture Night Dublin and highlight key benefits which the project has achieved for Dublin’s cultural life. The meeting was attended by the CQSG and key partners including Department for Social Development, Northern Ireland Tourist Board, Tourism Ireland and Belfast City Council. The Belfast Culture Night Committee, comprising of Sean Kelly (Cathedral Quarter Arts Festival), Kieran Gilmore (Open House Festival) and Patricia Freedman (CQSG), is now seeking support to develop a Belfast Culture Night in 2009 and have submitted a proposal (Appendix 1) seeking support for the project. The Arts Council of Northern Ireland has committed £25,000 towards the project and Belfast City Council is being asked to contribute match funding of £25,000. Belfast City Council has already been involved in researching the concept of a Culture Night project. The Culture Night is a similar event to what is also titled ‘Light Night’ - a popular event which originates from a traditional European phenomenon commonly known as the ‘White Night’ festival.
