The Albuquerque Culture Count Project Wants YOU to be Counted
Albuquerque Culture Count
 
The City of Albuquerque and local non-profit, Creative Albuquerque, have teamed up to collect data on how our communities take part in arts and cultural activities. This is a national study
organized through Americans for the Arts and WESTAF (Western States Arts Federation) and will assist with cultural and economic development planning strategies and policies.

The first step for arts and cultural organizations and businesses is to register with the project. Please register at www.abqculturecount.org.

This e-newsletter was created to keep you up-to-date with news about Albuquerque's Public Art and Urban Enhancement Program projects and other arts and cultural planning initiatives.

If you have any questions, need more information or want to share news and/or tips for future issues of this e-newsletter or sign yourself or someone else up to receive it, please e-mail us at publicart@cabq.gov.

Thanks for staying involved!
Sincerely,

 

Sherri, Dan, Matt, and Brendan
