Aberdeen, United Kingdom
As may know, the initial bid document has now been
submitted to the Department for Culture, Media and Sport. In this document we outlined why we felt Aberdeen should be UK City of Culture and we detailed some of the city’s key resources.
Now we have to prepare for what happens next.
In the middle of June (we think around the 17th) we’ll discover if the judging panel have shortlisted us and if we then have to prepare a second, much more detailed bid document.
If we are not shortlisted there has been a commitment by Aberdeen City Council to press on with 2017 as a year of culture.
Whatever happens we have the opportunity to make Aberdeen a more cultural city and a city where the many talented people who live here and create here are recognised.
We would like you to be involved and we’d like to talk to you about the possibilities of Aberdeen being UK City of Culture.
The bid team would delighted to meet at a time suitable to you. This could be a conversation between two of us, or the team could prepare a presentation for you and any colleagues or friends or partners.
We can tell you about our plans and you can tell us what you want to see happen in Aberdeen.
Email us hello@aberdeen2017.com to set something up.

Culturing our Creativity
May 15, 2013
Culturing Our Creativity is about the environment we create that will allow arts and culture in Scotland to flourish
An AmbITion Scotland seminar, webcast and open-space one-day event in partnership with Missions Models Money, Arts & Business Scotland and the Cultural Enterprise Office exploring the current context for culture and how we might change it.
Date: Monday 17 June 2013
Location: [venue TBC], Edinburgh
Seminar : 10.30 – 12:30
Webcast: 10:55 – 12:30
Open space: 13.15 – 15.30
Cost: £20 + VAT*
Ben Cameron from the Doris Duke Charitable Trust, a thought leader on culture and the arts in the United States will be the key note speaker for the day along with contributions from:
David Watt, new CEO of Arts & Business Scotland
Eleonore Belfiore, leader of the #culturalvalue initiative
Shelagh Wright, Missions Models Money
Bob Last, Cultural Enterprise Office
Hannah Rudman, Rudman Consulting and AmbITIon Scotland
Chaired by Roanne Dods and featuring storyteller Donald Smith from the Scottish Storytelling Centre to energise the open-space session, the day promises to be enlightening and engaging.
Culturing our Creativity is driven by three key questions: What conditions are needed for individuals and organisations working in arts, culture and the creative industries in Scotland to flourish on our finite planet? How can we ensure their presence? What more could they contribute to our common wealth if we did?
Individuals and organisations working in arts, culture and the creative industries in Scotland are faced with a rapidly changing external operating environment that is increasingly uncertain. Many, especially those working in small practices, micro businesses and SMEs, face continuous obstacles to achieving their full potential, especially in relation to accessing the right kind of human and financial resources to help them adapt and build their resilience.
Whilst we know a lot about the conditions needed to enable cultural and creative activities to flourish at different points in their lifecycle, they’re not present across the whole ecosystem. They’re not connected up. Most importantly, we don’t fully recognise the different kinds value they create, and what impacts these values have on our increasingly challenged economy, society and environment.
*If price is a barrier please get in touch – we don’t want anyone to be excluded based on ability to pay.
