American Capital of Culture

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The NGO "American Capital of Culture Organization" selects one city on the Western Hemisphere annually to serve as the American Capital of Culture for a period of one year. The organization claims the initiative is based closely on the European Capital of Culture program; it enjoys the backing of the hemisphere-wide Organization of American States, but the OAS is not involved in the selection process.

Austin (2004) in the United States, and Regina, Saskatchewan (2005) and Toronto (2002) in Canada were offered the honor, but they declined because the winners of this program must pay USD $500,000 in fees.
