The Culture Capital Is…

And the “American Capital of Culture” for 2005 is… (what? You didn’t know there was such a thing? Me neither… shhh, just listen…) the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. OK. “The province has been elected as the American Capital of Culture for 2005 by an organization of the same name with headquarters in Barcelona, Spain. A news release from the group says the designation was made to coincide with the province’s 100th anniversary. But it’s not clear how much money the province would have to spend for that recognition.”
