How do European Capitals of Culture affect you?
15th December 2008
Ever wondered what European Capitals of Culture really attain? Why all the competition to get the title and what is the lasting impact? LabforCulture and Trans Europe Halles have been thinking through these questions and as a result bring to you a collection of resources exploring the European Capitals of Culture and the communities around the cities.
Our specific interest was to discover what impact is made on the local community: the artist, the shopper and the man walking his dog. The results are available in the new Research in focus, "Capitalising on Culture: The impact of the European Capitals of Culture on the local independent cultural sector".
The Research in focus comprises of a series of interviews with Trans Europe Halles members who have often been directly involved in the process of application or producing European Capitals of Culture. Additionally alongside the interviews, research mapping has been carried out on existing resources and revealing key information on European Capitals of Culture.
LabforCulture looks to open up and bring together resources in its regular feature Research in focus. Previous Research in focuses include: Tools for Culture, The Status of Artists and The Cultural Industries in Europe.
