Calgary Arts Development and the Calgary Hotel Association are pleased to announce The Remarkable Experience Accelerator. This innovative new partnership will invest up to $825,000 (Destination Marketing Fund DMF) over three years to accelerate medium to long term (at least two years) plans for remarkable downtown arts experiences. The goal is to enhance the emerging story of Calgary as a cultural hotbed and give people even more reasons to visit Calgary as leisure travelers.

The Remarkable Experience Accelerator is designed to fund applicants whose proposed activities are high-quality, remarkable, cultural experiences that will enhance Calgary's reputation. This unique funding model will nurture relationships with applicants that demonstrate a proven track record, sufficient capacity and a readiness to accelerate the experiences of their audiences. It is intended to provide risk-capital for applicants to enhance and/or build on an existing initiative or program and is not intended to fund single-time programs, projects or events.
