...Terry Rock and the 2012 Cultural Capital of Canada Bid

Hello Mike,
I have been following your posts and this one is so true. As a fellow artist and Business owner I see the ever whelming desire for more arts in our fair city. I have had a vision to creat the "ARTHOUSE" for yrs. I am reaching out to you at this time beacuse I see such a vision in the east village. Particularily in the Siminon's building. Yesturday they released a press release looking for ideas. Such a beautiful building has so much potencial for holding a truely uniquely artistic hub. I already have a team of well astablished artistic business. Everything from Acting Schools. Film, Theater based businesses to galleries to singer songwritter stages. BUT we need more. We need a bigger team to make this happen. Can You Help? We are putting a proposal together for the space (deadline being June 30th)but would love to have more like minded individuals join the team.
