THE ART OF TRANSITION » Feedback

The Next Step – Creating a cultural map

Kerri King — Thu, 17 Jun 2010 19:28:46 +0000

Some say that culture is the ticket to the creative economy. I think it is an important piece, but we must also build on this component to include the unique identities of those who make up our communities.

It’s this inclusiveness that expresses the region’s all-encompassing approach to becoming a great place to live, work and play. It translates itself from the art that local artists craft to the innovative businesses that plant their roots in Durham. This is what the Art of Transition (AOT) is all about.

Back Row: Sue Sutcliffe, Todd Skinner, Jason Atkins, Kerri King, Dr. Greg Baeker, Nina Conrad, Wayne Conrad. Front Row: Lisa Weiss, Donna Raetsen-Kemp, Kristyn Chambers.

The aftermath of AOT has reached an important point in determining “the next steps”; an important turning point that will address how we proceed in delivering a strategy to enhance Durham’s cultural flavour. The recently composed Creative Think Tank Advisory Group met for the first time in March to map out a path for Durham to take in its evolutionary journey. I would like to thank all participants of the advisory group for
opening their minds to this task.

Dr. Richard Florida Launches the Great Re-Set at Rotman School of Business

Kerri King — Tue, 04 May 2010 21:43:19 +0000

Attending the launch of Dr. Florida’s new book at Rotman tonight…

The Great Reset: How new ways of living and working drive the post-crash prosperity.

Dr. Florida says in order to re-set the economy, we need to increase efficiencies, make cost of housing and cars more affordable, and focus on the new economy.

Question:

Do we need these giant houses? Would we have a better quality of life if we weren’t spending all of our disposable income on cars, houses? Florida says that we have to reset the cost of housing in order to make the cost of living more realistic and sustainable.

Florida says that we need to look at:

-rental housing -transit commuting -walkable communities

Is the mindset in Durham Region to Reset?

What do you think?

What Are You Dreaming Of Durham Region?

Sue Sutcliffe — Sun, 04 Apr 2010 15:43:21 +0000

In the wise words of Dom Helder Camara…

When we are dreaming alone
it is only a dream.
When we are dreaming with others,
it is the beginning of a reality.

I envision an Integrated Community Network. An online place where people in Durham Region can gather, share their knowledge and dreams, and help each other be the best we can be. I call this place DurhamLIVE.com and I invite you to be a part of it.

What is your vision for Durham Region? What do YOU dream of?

The Next Step – Implementing a plan for a vibrant future

Kerri King — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 16:50:33 +0000

I’d like to extend a heartfelt thanks to all of our community leaders for being a part of the Art of Transition. What an amazing show of support and enthusiasm.

The day of the AOT symposium crested on a tsunami of interest and excitement. Our speakers all addressed how the arts and culture sector can be the heart and soul of a community, as well as being a driving force in the economy. The research and theory they brought to us provided invaluable background to the work we have to do now.

It’s obvious this message resonated with huge numbers of artists, business people, educators and political players. In the weeks following the event, comments, ideas and visions have continued to flow in from all of
you. Thank you!

Creativity depends in large part on taking formerly separate ideas and combining them to make new and innovative solutions. Everyone who has engaged in dialogue with us since the event has had a unique insight or perspective to contribute. The task now is to take these particular ideas and synthesize them.

At the end of the symposium we developed an initial work plan. In the spirit and practice of creativity, we will be asking for your ongoing engagement, input and effort as we implement this plan. This zine has been developed to keep you informed of our challenges and achievements, as well as your opportunities to contribute.

The conference thus far

James Klodnicki — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 16:50:01 +0000

Good morning!

This is a fantastic opportunity and congratulations to those who have organized it AND are participating in it.

I need to ask the “Devil’s Advocate” question:

If we are truly looking at Creativity and developing/enhancing our region, can our interaction (through a future conference, perhaps) be done creatively? (i.e., avoiding the “typical” conference format of “sit and speak” and, instead, involving (physically, in discussion, and otherwise) the audience to get their feedback – if we have the great thinkers/motivators/”movers and shakers” here, shouldn’t they be involved in structured discussion and collaboration? )

Perhaps I am being the “Devil’s Advocate” far too early in the conference…the visioning session is yet to happen…will we still be “fresh enough” for that session?

Also – regarding the PowerPoint presentations – will we be able to get access to them through the Art of Transition website?

Thanks, again, for offerring this opportunity!

I am proud to be here!
