For the first time ever, Saskatoon will host the Creative City Summit from Oct. 1-3 through the Creative Cities Network of Canada, which is made up of people from across the country who work in arts, culture, heritage and design. The theme of this year’s Summit is “Growing the Creative Cultural Economy for 21st Century Cities.” With noteworthy speakers and a spotlight on local artist Andrei Fehergyhazi, it’s sure to be an illuminating event, shedding light on the contributions that artists make to our cities.
