Think. Create. Collaborate.

Artscape’s 2009 conference was the latest milestone in the Creative Places + Spaces conference series, exploring the relationship between people, place and creativity. Between Sunday October 25th and Friday October 30th,Creative Places + Spaces: The Collaborative City featured 7 keynotes, 26 speakers, 11 Emcees + Moderators, 8 ‘On Location’ Videos, 4 Panel Discussions, 4 Breakout Sessions, over 500 delegates and upwards of 300 artists in 5 venues across the city of Toronto. In addition to the two day conference, we featured a Collaboration Workshop, The Collaborative Dinner and 6 Study Tours throughout the city.

Creative Places + Spaces: The Collaborative City gave individuals and organizations from distinct and diverse sectors the opportunity to engage in a dialogue that helps advance our cities and countries to new levels of collaboration, creativity and innovation. With this in mind, we are working to keep the conversation and collaboration at the forefront of our practice. Follow the conference website link below, as we roll out our Campaign of Ideas: Video Knowledge Exchange series over the next few months. It is our hope that they will assist individuals and organizations alike in continuing to Think. Create. Collaborate.
