The Niagara Artists Centre and Carousel Players (The Clients) have partnered to commission a feasibility analysis of an Arts Hub in downtown St. Catharines, with the goal of clustering non-profit arts organizations and for-profit creative enterprises in order to share resources, collaborate on artistic programming and community animation, stabilize organizations, and jointly resolve ongoing facility and resource issues in the community.
PROJECT GOALS
The Clients are seeking a multi-stage consultation to define the following:
- The Case for the Facility
- The Users and their Needs
- The Site and Building Program
- The Resource Environment
- The Recommendations
MARKET ASSESSMENT
What is the context of this facility: cultural, economic, geographic, and social?
What is the case for creating an Arts Hub in downtown St Catharines?
Deliverable: an interim report outlining the current state of the culture sector, cultural facilities, and the gaps that currently exist in the greater St Catharines area.
