Cultural Mapping is defined as a process of collecting, recording and analyzing information in order to describe the cultural resources, networks, links and patterns of a given community or group.

The Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo is in the process of developing an Arts and Cultural Community Resource Map, showcasing various elements that contribute to culture; human, natural, social and economical. This resource will help define our local culture, identify previously unknown resources, locate gaps, needs and overlaps and identify networks and hubs.
If you or your group is interested in sharing the location of your studio, workspace, sales, class, facility or location, please share your information with us so we can add it to the Arts and Culture Community Resource.
