The Cultural Design Trust in association with Access Space are pleased to
invite you to an open debate:

-Maybe you've heard that Sheffield has branded its new city-wide economic
regeneration agency as "Creative Sheffield"...

-Most likely you've heard that Sheffield's got a "Cultural Strategy"...

WERE YOU ASKED ABOUT ANY OF THIS?
Were your views taken into account?
Perhaps you've had previous experience of agencies that claim to represent
your views, but don't.

Ever get the feeling that the views of artists, musicians, designers,
environmentalists, urban designers and creative workers aren't REALLY
represented?

SO WHAT CAN YOU DO ABOUT IT?
Come and speak up for what you feel is valuable abou the arts. Indeed is the
current restricted definition of the arts valid any more?

Only by articulating why people should care about the arts can we get other
people to value them. And what's the point. Well, if you don't represent
your views, someone else might! JOIN THE DEBATE! MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD!

p.s. apologies for the list abuse :o
