		The Confederation Centre of the Arts' board of directors acknowledges with regret the public controversy surrounding its decision not to renew the contract of the director of the Centre's Art Gallery.
		It was the Art Gallery that truly addressed the mandate of Canada's National Memorial, that "celebrated and interpreted the origins and evolution of Canada" and represented the cultural diversity of the country, not the Theatre.

		Instigated by Catherine Hennessey and her followers as part of a regular series of meetings of downtown residents, the putative purpose of the meeting was to develop some sort of “vision” for arts and culture in the downtown into the future.
		If the role, or at least one of the roles, of arts and culture is to stir things up, to make us feel and think and learn about ourselves and others, then, at least reflected through the eyes of those gathered last night, we have a culture drought Charlottetown.
		My suggestion, at evening’s end, was that if we are to foment a vision for arts and culture in downtown Charlottetown, we should start with the premise that we should take what we reflected on and revealed about the place, and seek to do the opposite.
