Visit Winston-Salem says
And our Arts Council uses the slogan, too...
Here's a link to one of their web pages...
“City of Arts and Innovation"
It's a slogan that has been around for 5 years or more. Many businesses and organizations have spent 10's of thousands of dollars on this branding slogan why not keep it. We are a city of art and innovation. All the fascinating and exciting new art galleries, plans for new downtown performing arts facilities, the proposed renovation/upfit to the Joan Hanes Theatre at the Stevens Center, a/perture Cinema's expansions in theatre space and creative programing, RiverRun Film Festival has been selected by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences as qualifying festival for the Oscars along with many other growing entertainment opportunities. One certainly doesn't have to look far for more innovation and financial benefits in W-S with the commitment and growth in science and bio-technology industries... it is "The City of Arts and Innovation"!
Sincerely,
Patrick O'Kelly
Technical Director
