Congratulations Victoria!
For the third year International Art Treasures has honored a city in North America as
the City of Culture.
Our European friends celebrate at least one city as the European Union's City of Culture this year
Liverpool, England and Stavanger, Norway share the honor.
Our first winner for 2006 was Cleveland, Ohio, last year
Norfolk, Virginia won. On a personal note, we are delighted
that the best entry advocated for a Canadian city, but that certainly is not why Victoria won.
Our continent has a wonderful cultural heritage that should be celebrated. That's something
International Art Treasures does every month. We are delighted
to honor beautiful Victoria, British Columbia as IATWM's
North American City of Culture 2008.
