Alberta Culture Days (formerly Alberta Arts Days) is a three-day, province wide celebration of the arts and culture. The first three years of Alberta Arts Days occurred during the third Friday, Saturday and Sunday of September. More recently, the event has moved to the last weekend of September, aligning the festival with the pan-Canadian Culture Days.〔http://www.culturedays.ca/en〕 The purpose of Alberta Culture Days is to showcase the province’s artists, art organizations and cultural industries, encourage Albertans and its visitors to engage in the arts, and promote the importance of arts and culture as part of a prosperous and vibrant province.〔Naclia, Janet, “Alberta Arts Days: Check it Out!”, Arts and Culture with ACE website blog, "(http://artsandculturewithace.blogspot.com/2009/09/alberta-art-days-check-it-out_09.html Source 1)", 5 July 2010〕〔Alberta Arts Days website, "About Alberta Arts Days", "(http://culture.alberta.ca/artsdays/about.aspx Source 2)", 14 July 2010〕 ==Background== The first Alberta Arts Days occurred in 1974 during a three-day arts celebration in Red Deer, Alberta and coincided with the creation of Alberta’s first Ministry of Culture, but was not implemented into an annual event.〔Babiak, Todd, “Alberta Arts Day Gala in Calgary,” The Edmonton Journal, "(http://communities.canada.com/EDMONTONJOURNAL/blogs/internetthing/archive/2008/09/07/alberta-arts-day-gala-in-calgary.aspx)", 7 September 2008〕 In 2008, Alberta Arts Days was reinitiated by the province’s Ministry of Culture and Community Spirit. Governed by ''The Spirit of Alberta'', Alberta’s cultural policy, Alberta Arts Days helps the Ministry achieve one of its stated goals to “Ensure Albertans, throughout the province, have access to a wide range of cultural experiences and opportunities.”〔Government of Alberta, ''The Spirit of Alberta: Alberta's Cultural Policy'', page 10, "(http://culture.alberta.ca/culturalpolicy/pdf/SpiritofAlberta.pdf)", Edmonton: Queen's Press, January 2008〕 Albertans are encouraged to plan arts related events during the weekend, while others incorporate an artistic element to a project or event that is already planned. Each year, the Government of Alberta forms a partnership with 2–5 facilities or organizations (in 2008, only one facility was selected). These facilities are deemed Feature Celebration Sites and partner with local community organizations to present events, workshops and performances throughout the weekend. The Arts Branch provides guidance and support to all Feature Celebration Sites during the planning and delivery stages. The event's name was changed to Alberta Culture Days in 2012.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://culture.alberta.ca/culturedays/ )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Alberta Culture Days」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
