This is too long. Businesses would never wait 8 months for a report on an issue that was supported by the corporate vision. See imagineCalgary. See the Melbourne Principles. See Triple Bottomline. Terry Rock is right. Encourage incentive driven policy on the occupation of unused/underused spaces. Make supporting Community Building Orgs a priority. Remove performance barriers. Add sense of urgency. “…to report back to City Council no later than December 31, 2010.”

]]> Comment on Original Art or Plagarism? by jeff spelvin http://calgaryartblog.com/art-discussion/original-art-or-plagarism/545/comment-page-1#comment-1068 jeff spelvin Fri, 05 Mar 2010 22:09:55 +0000 http://calgaryartblog.com/?p=545#comment-1068 That is a tough call. I have to agree with Kathleen. If the image is that close of a comparison you should credit the original photographer in some manner. You have to respect the artists original concept. I am interested in contemporary Calgary artists. Does anyone know of some? vexedart.com is a site that I have been hearing about. Anybody else have any suggestions. Thanks. That is a tough call.

Thank you Mr. Burdeny for sharing your gift.
