Planet Artsweek 2023
Planet Artsweek is the Electric City Culture Council’s way of celebrating the tremendous group of people and organizations that make the festival possible. The health and vitality of the arts in Peterborough derives from so many talented and dedicated artists, and relies on an intricate network of funders, supporters, and volunteers. The people of Planet Artsweek made the 2023 festival a success, contributing everything from creative work, to money, space, equipment, or time. Every bit of this support is valued, and we thank them all for their generosity. We also extend our thanks to everyone who came out as an audience member. – Whether you’re on this Planet Artsweek list or not, you’re a part of the world the festival creates, and we’re glad to have you!
