An intro to Lindsay Blackett
For those of you in the arts I have some required reading for you. Fellow blogger, The Enlightened Savage, has done up a wonderful primer to introduce you to Alberta’s new Minister of Culture and Community Spirit.
The Calgary Professional Arts Alliance will be sending Minister Blackett a personal welcome shortly, and hopefully we will be able to have him formally introduce himself to the arts community in the next couple of months. The CPAA is in the midst of planning a couple of events in the near future (including an AGM) so please stay tuned via the CPAA email bulletin – perhaps the best way to stay on top of arts goings on in Calgary.
An open letter to Ed Stelmach, re: please give me a job
Dear Mr. Stelmach:
I wanted to thank you for emulating Premier Lougheed. No, no, not for arguing with “Ottawa” over our energy plans, but for creating a ministry of Culture. It is absolutely great news to see something like this: not only a cultural policy but a department to implement it. Oddly groundbreaking, actually.
If anyone from the Alberta Government is reading this please have them pass my name along to Minister Lindsay Blackett. I’d be happy to help him out in anyway I can. You can see my LinkedIn profile by clicking the link over there on the right (you have to visit http://blog.djkelly.ca first if you’re using a reader). As you can see I have skills such as knowing the arts community. And actually spelling “Blackett” correctly. I also have my own car. So I can make deliveries, I guess. If you have need of a marketing/communications/policy/blogging guy with too much time on his hands anywhere if your ministry please don’t hesitate to email me at blog@djkelly.ca.
Go team! (See how I showed my “Community Spirit” right there? I’m good at that too.) I look forward to hearing from you.
Luv,
-dj
