A Time for Reflection
Friends and Artists,
It's not too late to share your story! We've shared our commitment to building community through the arts, but we can't do it without you. We're opening the floor to start a dialogue on how our community can answer Vancouver's call for culture. With your voice, we can build towards a thriving arts scene and a vibrant destination downtown.
Today is our last call for those who would like to join in the conversation: "Why are the arts vital to our community? How have the arts enriched your own experience?" We ask that participants who are interested in sharing their experiences please engage by replying your answers to this email.
Together we can embrace change — not only to rebuild the arts — but to set the stage for a future where the arts are always growing and thriving in Vancouver. For more information about our mission, visit our website, or contact us at [hidden email]. Have a fantastic weekend!
Sincerely,
The SWCA Team
