dewlineI just got home from a kick-off organizational/Q&A meeting at Arts Court in downtown Ottawa.
It was for a group that's looking to set up Ottawa-Gatineau's very own Nuit Blanche-style all-night arts/culture festival. Looks like they've thought through a great many things, have admitted to others they haven't thought through yet but are making plans for that to be done in due course. Not unlike the organizational session I sat through last week with the Can-Con organizing committee. The gathering even drew CBC's official news-gathering attention, as well as people representing independent business, arts groups, museums, City Hall, the National Arts Centre...and others whose affiliations I'm memory-blanking on right now.
Will see how things go over the next few weeks and months with the Nuit Blanche Ottawa-Gatineau crew.
More on other stuff in different postings later on...
