City of Fredericton contributes $500 to CreativeSpaces-Fredericton’s launch.

January 15, 2025

Following on two meetings CSF’s President, Leone Pippard, had with Angela Watson, the City’s Cultural Development Officer, late last year, CreativeSpaces-Fredericton received $500 City of Fredericton Activity Grant to be used towards launching CSF on the internet. This grant will purchase our website platform which will be used to present our creative enterprise and our ongoing activities. In the meetings held with Angela, CSF presented several of the findings from our September 2024 artist survey and spoke about what other Canadian cities were doing to address the lack of available and affordable studio spaces for artists in their cities, concluding with a request that the City of Fredericton make creative placemaking a priority in its 2026 Arts Plan.
