Kier Gallery has been in existence since 1997. The gallery provides a much needed venue for emerging artists in all sectors, visual, literary, performance new media as well a venue for community indicatives.
Act, MODE Media, The Charlottetown And Area Tourism Industry association Inc. Colonel Grey High School, IMAC, The Confederation Centre of The Arts, The Environmental Coalition, The Arts of our great province, these are a few partners we work with on a regular basis.
We were among the founding members of, The Fathers of Confederation reenactment program and in the early years provided storage and rehearsal space in the gallery prior to our incorporation as The Kier Gallery.
The Cobblestone Theatre was born from years of study and discussion. It is time to build on the success of our fathers. The Cobblestone Theater provides us with the vehicle that will take us on a historic journey through time.

7. Proponent Background

2008-03-04T07:20:00.000-08:00

In 1997 when the Kier Gallery was first formed it immediately began to contribute to the cultural sectors within the Charlottetown cultural community.

The Keir Gallery has collaborated to enhance Victoria Row and has position itself well within the current cultural sector and an active member representing the cultural community providing leadership and a creative venue to thousands of Artists both on and off of Prince Edward Island..

Today the Kier Gallery and Brennan's Stage has become a hub for emerging artists in music, film, performing artists,painters, writers, and content creators.

All of our marketing research indicates that the Kier Gallery needs to rethink the way it operates to survive in the current market place which is becoming dominated by three or four corporations.

If the the Kier Gallery is to continue to offer the artist in the community it's unique brand of service than it must rethink it's model of operation.

The Kier Gallery is in a position itself to become a manager of cultural events and festivals and street performances. These funding opportunities are available and the city has identified a need to offer more of these services to Charlottetown's landscapes and historical spaces.

The Gallery is in the perfect position to take advantage of the Same funding that is available
to cultural sector businesses in Charlottetown.

6. Project Longevity

The Kier Gallery needs to operate equally on a level playing field. Currently that field is not level.
The Kier Gallery has no festival or event funding that creates an economic base to boost business and draw an audience to it's doorsteps.

The Kier Gallery would join in the public festivals and parades by providing characters in history.
Using a proven model that works in other historical towns all across North America.
This would increase artist sales and increase a presence of historical reenactment for tourists visiting Victoria Row .

The City of Charlottetown has clearly indicate the following cultural sector needs

The community wants to engage in street performances
There is a cultural workforce that wants to learn experientially
The cobblestone theater will focus on the Charlottetown Conference events.
We will present our Historical Characters in parades,festival, schools,
Each set will represent a very important reenactment in Prince Edward Islands Confederation History

Since 2005-2008 The Kier Gallery has been gathering information on the needs of it clients.
Gathering both qualitative and quantitative data from artists from Charlottetown and communities from all across Prince Edward Island.

In addition to this marketing research The Kier Gallery has contributed by both providing resources and consultation for Artists who wish to further develop their skills on stage or on canvas.

The Kier Gallery in well known for it ability to work with artists and employs a staff to develop programs and to assist emerging artists.

Sustaining these programs has been a constant struggle for the Kier Gallery which annually provides it's space and venue for hundreds of artists since 1998 up until the current time.

Artists offer a full range of performance artists:

Bands
Film Makers
Television Crews
Graphic artists
Painters
Digital content creators
Writers
Dance
Actors.
Sculptors
Singer Song Writers

Covering a full range of artists with many levels of skills.

Most have identified a need to develop their craft further.

There is no physicality that offers this service to artists in Charlottetown or Prince Edward Island.

The Kier Gallery has conducted this research to fully understand the following:

What can the Kier Gallery do to sustain it's current level of services for existing clients.
Who currently uses the Kier Gallery services?
What are the training needs of it's artists?
What skills are being developed at the Kier Gallery ?
What training needs are not being met?
How can this need provide sustainability for the Kier Gallery?
What model will create the best sustainability and services for our clients.

The Kier Gallery directors have successfully established an Atlantic Canada Destination for bands and performing artists and has gained a reputation as a launching pad for it's many artists in film and television and digital and including singer song writing circles and painters and print makers and many more to many to list.

Artists that use the gallery recognize the venue as a creative catalyst within the cultural cluster that is developing in Charlottetown and Prince Edward Island.

So what does the information we gathered tell us !

The Kier Gallery has been a spoke and often a hub for cultural sector development in the Capital.
When no other services were available. The Kier Gallery has committed resources for it's many artists and collaborated with the community to create this cultural cluster as it exists today.
The Kier Gallery is in a position to provide a service to artists throughout Prince Edward Island using it's Charlottetown venue.
In order to grow it needs it's space to become accessible to all artists in the community.
The Kier Gallery needs economic engines such as "Cobblestone Theatre model".

The Economic Impact of Culture

2008-03-02T11:11:00.000-08:00

The Economic Impact of Culture

in Prince Edward Island

and in the Charlottetown Region

SUMMARY REPORT

January 2006

Prepared for:

City of Charlottetown

PEI Community & Cultural Affairs

PEI Business Development Inc.

Prepared by:

The IRIS Group

Wendy MacDonald & Associates

JP Consulting

Key Findings

• The economic impact on Prince Edward Island of the major arts, heritage, and culture sectors measured in this study was over $100 million in gross output in 2000. Those sectors include publishing, film and motion pictures, broadcasting, the performing arts, heritage, and the applied arts such as architecture and graphic design.

• This economic impact by the culture sector is similar in scale to the lobster harvest, or to tourism spending on accommodations, and only slightly less than the combined value of the livestock industries in PEI.

• The indirect and induced economic impacts (the “spin-offs”) of the culture sector mean that every $10 million increase in its gross output results in a $21.7 million expansion in the total economy.

• The culture sectors examined in the study employ 2,000 Islanders – of whom 1,200 or 60% work in the Charlottetown region. The culture sector accounts for 5% of the jobs in the Charlottetown region, and 3% province-wide.

• Although economic impact data was not available below the provincial level, Charlottetown’s number of jobs, and its relatively higher share of year-round jobs, suggests that at least 60%, or $60 million, of the culture sector’s gross output is in the Charlottetown region.

• When one takes into account additional culture sectors for which separate economic impact data was not available to this study – including government, libraries, crafts, festivals, photography, sound recording, and arts education – the economic impacts increase by tens of millions more dollars.

• The culture sector is extremely important to the tourism industry, with arts, culture, and heritage activities accounting for over half of the top 15 activities named by visitors. Those visitors naming Charlottetown as their main destination rank culture and heritage even more highly than visitors to the rest of the province.

• Volunteers play a major role in the arts and culture sectors, accounting for the equivalent of up to 200 jobs, equivalent to a $6 million payroll.
