Cultural Experiences Inventory
These data were collected by Apt613 as part of a Strategic Cultural Partnership with the City of Ottawa. The objective of the partnership was to expand and update the City’s cultural mapping work by focusing on ‘experiences’ – understanding cultural resources from the user’s/audience’s perspective. This could enable, for example, identifying complimentary experiences that could appeal to similar audiences, so that lesser-known cultural producers could be cross-promoted with more established producers. This could form a key part of a cultural tourism strategy for Ottawa.
Apt613 used its extensive network of people who research and write about Ottawa’s cultural scenes to build this inventory in 2018-19. In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic temporarily halted our cultural mapping work and the development of a cultural tourism strategy.
We know that Ottawa’s cultural sector could look very different after the pandemic. Many businesses and organizations have been, or could be, lost. Therefore, Apt613’s work serves as a ‘snapshot’ of Ottawa’s cultural assets before COVID. The City’s cultural mapping team will revisit this project after the pandemic to document the changes that have occurred.
Accuracy: Apt613 built this inventory using their extensive network of people who research and write about Ottawa’s cultural scenes. However, since the data are from a 3rd party, the City cannot guarantee the accuracy.
Update Frequency: This pre-COVID inventory of cultural experiences will not be updated. However, the cultural mapping team will revisit this project after the pandemic to document the changes that have occurred.
