Future DiverCities: The art and culture of changing city-scapes

Pender, Eleanor

Abstract

Eleanor Pender was invited to introduce Future DiverCities, a Creative Europe funded project exploring the ever-changing role of art and creative work in the urban context.

The role of art and culture in the city is changing. Moving from the arts venue and audience, towards going ‘out’ into the city, nurturing a vision of the city itself as a creative, participative space in which citizens are themselves makers are "co-creators".

Ten European partners in Europe and Canada are working together to encourage and support creativity, digital innovation, and art production within the cities and urban spaces of Europe and beyond; exploring the ever-changing role of art in the urban context, inspired by Charles Landry and his concept of the City 3.0.
