Arts for All Program
Calgary Arts Development piloted the Arts for All Program in 2013 and 2014 to invest in arts activity outside of the downtown core, with a focus on East Calgary. The first community to host this program was Greater Forest Lawn (Forest Lawn, Forest Heights, Penbrooke Meadows, Erin Woods, Albert Park, Dover and Southview).
Calgary Arts Development partnered with the International Avenue Business Revitalization Zone (INT AVE BRZ) to engage a range of artists and arts organizations in the area, as well as local businesses and community members.
