The romance continues...

We were thrilled to see yet another article about Calgary's arts scene pop up in the Sunday edition of the New York Times this week. Read it online: "Calgary Exchanges its Cowboy Duds for a Tuxedo."

This article appeared in the travel section and notes our "diverse entertainment options and an expanding museum scene" as draws for visitors and artists alike: "Some of the biggest creative names in Canada are choosing to introduce their new works in Calgary." Like previous articles in the NY Times, this one is sure to spark the curiousity of visitors from all over the world.

Cultural tourism is a hot topic for cities looking to draw in more visitors, and one we'll be hearing more about when Antonio Cimolino, Executive Director of the Stratford Festival of Canada, comes to Calgary next week to give a speech on tourism strategies for the arts - check out the event information for more details.

It is a great day when you wake up to this quote on the front page of the paper: "Calgary's down-home cowboy image is fading as international attention is drawn to the city's upscale arts scene, according to the mecca of culture, New York City."
