  • FOI-19-1479 - Cultural Strategy
    From: Foi Enquiries <[email protected]> Sent: 03 December 2019 10:22 Subject: FOI-19-1479 - Cultural Strategy Thank you for your information request of 04 November 2019. Aberdeen City Council (ACC) has completed the necessary search for the information requested. Our response is now detailed below. Why does Aberdeen need a Cultural Strategy? And what are its restraints of having a Cultural Strategy? What makes an Art organization fundable? How does the council support Art organizations? It has been said in the Strategy keeping doors open for creativity. How open are the doors to Aberdeen’s Creative Sector? There must be restraints to creating. Why does Aberdeen focus funding more on Festivals? What does Culture bring into the city that other sectors don't? Is Aberdeen on track to hit the goals they have set? Aberdeen is one of the cities that will be deeply affected by Brexit. How will Brexit affect Aberdeen and its creative industrials and its Cultural Strategy? Where can I find the old strategy to see what has been done in the past? As the new 10-year plan has mentioned it a little in the introduction. The Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002 provides public access to recorded information held by the council at the time a request is made and does not cover officer’s opinions, comments or ongoing conversations. We are unable to provide you with information on your questions regarding Aberdeen City Council’s Cultural Strategy as it is not held by ACC. In order to comply with our obligations under the terms of Section 17 of the FOISA, we hereby gives notice that this information is not held by us.

  • People & Places Aberdeen
    PEO PLE & P LACES ABER DEEN A guide to Aberdeen’s commemorative plaques Aberdeen’s Heritage Trail Leaflets Granite Trail INTRODUCTION March Stones Trail Maritime Trail North Sea Trail Plaques exist in a variety of different guises and in many different locations in and around Aberdeen City. They commemorate people and Old Aberdeen Trail places that have shaped Aberdeen; people who have made outstanding Sculpture Trail achievements in their field; and streets, buildings or events of particular historical prominence. From the nineteenth century plaques have been erected in Aberdeen often through the auspices of individuals or societies. These plaques are described as ‘non-standard’. In the 1970’s, the City Council introduced a degree of regularity, standardising most plaques erected to commemorate people as a distinctive round plaque design, whilst court plaques commemorating streets of historical importance are rectangular with a domed top edge. This leaflet draws attention to a number of plaques in the city centre and Old Aberdeen. A list appended at the end of this leaflet provides basic information on other plaques in alphabetic order. The plaque numbers on the City Centre map indicate a suggested walking trail. Most surfaces along this route are generally level. Following the suggested route will require crossing busy roads and it is the responsibility of members of the public to ensure their personal safety. We recommend the use of pedestrian crossing points where available. Most plaques are visible from public areas, but please be aware that some are located on private property. Aberdeen City Council is always pleased to accept sponsored nominations for new plaques.

  • Aberdeen Performing Arts Venues, 1999
    ABERDEEN PERFORMING ARTS VENUES A STUDY BY PETER BOOTH AND PAUL ILES POSITIVE SOLUTIONS, LIVERPOOL COMMISSIONED BY ABERDEEN CITY COUNCIL JUNE 1999 1. FOREWORD Positive Solutions: Performing Arts Venues in Aberdeen: Final Report, June 1999 1 This report is the Final Report of the consultants commissioned by Aberdeen City Council to examine the performing arts venues in Aberdeen. It has been prepared, as the section on Methodology below describes, following an extensive period of consultation both locally and nationally, and is now presented to the City Council to be as a guide to future policy and operation of the venues, and it is anticipated that the Report will also be of importance to the venues, and it is anticipated that these will be shared with each of venues within the City, as well as with partners such as the Scottish Arts Council. Sections 1 to 6 report the consultants’ findings. Section 7 discusses the issue of Governance of the current Council-run venues, and makes recommendations thereon. Section 8 summarises all the other principal conclusions and recommendations. Section 9 sets out an action plan. The authors of the report express their thanks to all those who gave their time to supply a harvest of documentation and statistics, as well as offering us their substantial experience of the arts venues in the City. We were received warmly, frankly - and more importantly open-mindedly - by everyone we met.
