Colin Jackson and Arlene Strom Creative Placemaking Award

Celebrating the transformative power of the arts

Colin Jackson and Arlene Strom Creative Placemaking Award

The Colin Jackson and Arlene Strom Creative Placemaking Award was presented from 2015 to 2018. We thank Colin Jackson and Arlene Strom for their support of the Cultural Leaders Legacy Arts Awards.

The award was established to recognize and encourage the role of the arts in shaping Calgary’s social, physical and economic character. It honoured an individual artist or collective of artists energizing how we interact with our neighbours and neighbourhoods through the arts.

Previous Recipients: Nicole Mion (2015), Swallow-a-Bicycle (2016), Antyx Community Arts (2017), Sean Fraser (2018)

Our Commitment to Equity

Our commitment to Indigenous reconciliation, racial equity, disability justice, and gender and sexual diversity.

We acknowledge that the land we gather on, Mohkinsstsis, is the ancestral territory of the Siksikaitsitapi — the Blackfoot people — comprising the Siksika, Kainai and Piikani Nations, as well as Treaty 7 signatories, the Tsuut’ina Nation and the Îyârhe Nakoda Bearspaw, Chiniki and Goodstoney First Nations. Today this land is home to the Otipemisiwak Métis Government Districts 5 and 6 as well as many First Nations and Inuit from across Turtle Island.

We acknowledge that there has been art, music, dance, storytelling and ceremony on this land since time immemorial and it is in the spirit of this land and its people that we do our work.

Please see our full Commitment to Equity, including the sections on our aspirations, accountability, current initiatives and EDIA history.
