CAPITAL OF CULTURE

Liverpool, England was selectd by the EU(European Union) as the city to represent the '08 european culture capital. A city is given a chance to showcase its cultural life and development. A number of European cities have used the City of Culture year to transform their cultural base and, in doing so, the way in which they are viewed internationally. It was launched in 1985 and has developed since then.

I like this whole idea and I think it ties into the thinking behind Columbus' Indie Arts capital. Rome was not built in a day and good concepts take time to develop into something great but if Columbus can pickup the pace a bit for lack of a better term, this Indie Arts thing can take off and spawn other good idears
