Will our next Premier be more arts friendly?
Arts advocates in Calgary (through Calgary ArtsVote) and Edmonton (through PACE’s Arts Advocacy Steering Committee) have been meeting with as many leadership candidates as we can to discuss their arts policies and issues affecting professional artists in Alberta. Check out the synopsis of what those candidates, in alphabetical order based on surname, had to say on the arts in the article below or by going to www.pacedmonton.com.
The Progressive Conservative leadership campaign - and the arts.
Saturday is election day (or the first of 2 election days) for the person who will become the next Premier of Alberta.
The six candidates are Doug Griffiths, Doug Horner, Ted Morton, Alison Redford, (all current MLAs), Gary Mar, and Rick Orman (both former MLAs).
All six were invited by the provincial committee of PACE, the Professional Arts Coalition of Edmonton, and ArtsVote Calgary, to discuss their policies and platforms related to the arts sector. Four of the candidates participated in these discussions.
What do these potential Premiers say about their arts support?
Horner
Other than brief references to libraries, volunteer organizations and a shark fin soup ban, Doug Horner's campaign website seems to ignore culture and the arts. Furthermore, he refused to meet with Professional Arts Coalition of Edmonton to discuss arts policy.
Morton
Aside from a twangy country and western song on you-tube, Ted Morton seems to have no other arts component to his campaign. Morton did not reply to invitations to present or discuss his arts policy.
Redford
Alison Redford has an arts policy on her website. She also met with Calgary Artsvote.
Her full arts policy is at:
/www.alisonredford.ca/issuespolicy/arts-and-culture.cfm
Orman
Rick Orman met with PACE and presented an arts policy, as well as a position on restoring arts funding and the larger lottery funding system:

Mar
Gary Mar, a former culture minister, met with PACE and expressed enthusiasm and commitment for the arts, and for improved arts support. However, his web site seems to not have any arts policy content.
garymar.ca
Griffiths
Doug Griffiths met with PACE and emphasized culture as part of the "community" and "quality of life" content in his campaign. Unfortunately his website has little obvious arts content.
