San Antonio's Cultural Corridors: The Next Step
Registration now open for the 9/14/10 Urban Renaissance Luncheon featuring consultant Louise Stevens and introduction by Mayor Castro
Join
Downtown Alliance and San Antonio's Office of Cultural Affairs for an
Urban Renaissance Luncheon on Tuesday September 14 at the Westin Riverwalk as we explore the next steps for anchoring
San Antonio's arts and cultural institutions into cultural corridors.
With an introduction by Mayor Julián Castro, and featuring national
cultural research and planning specialist Louise Stevens of ArtsMarket,
this discussion will feature examples of Cultural Corridors from other
cities, and how SA can apply these best practices.
The
economic impact of San Antonio's creative industry grew by more than
33% between 2000 and 2006, generating 3.38 billion dollars a year,
supporting over 26,000 jobs and more than 1$ billion dollars in wages.
While numbers are still being finalized for the second half of the
decade, there is no doubt that this industry is critical to San
Antonio's health and future growth.
As Dr. Steve Nivin stated, "Beyond
its direct impact, the creative industry impacts quality of life,
downstream businesses, and innovation - vital elements to economic
development. It is the fuel that will propel our economy into the
creative age."

The free Downtown App
Experience 'downtown in the palm of your hand' with our new mobile directory for smartphones
Now the 7th largest city can fit into the palm of your hand with Downtown Alliance San Antonio's new, free mobile app for smartphones. Based on our website, www.downtownsanantonio.org, the app features a downtown business directory with maps, GPS enabled directions, events, mobile coupons and more.
Downtown Alliance, an organization dedicated to making downtown a better place to live, work, shop, eat and be entertained, partnered with local leading mobile technology firm BiBiSi to offer the application for free.
 To get the app, simply text DOWNTOWN to 45384. It is not available in the itunes store, because it is web-based in order to allow almost all smartphones to access it. As BiBiSi's Chief Technology Officer, Roell Vento, explains: "By leveraging the common denominator of mobile web for
smartphones, our proprietary cross platform app not only delivers the
application to iphones but also the other two top phones as well."
