Examples
- 2000, Marilyn Sifford, "Issue-Oriented Future Search: Creating a Frame," Future Searching No. 19, Summer/Fall 2000. The planning committee spent a great deal of time exploring the idea of a regional “cultureshed.” Cultural heritage does not usually begin and end at city, county, or state borders. As a watershed is based on the natural flow of rivers and streams, the concept of a “cultureshed” encourages us to rise above institutional and geographic boundaries to take an eagle’s eye view of the region and its history.
- 2013, John Lorinc, "The City as Cultureshed," in A. Wilcox, C. Palassio, J. Dovercourt, The State of the Arts: Living With Culture in Toronto, Coach House Books, 2013. That's why we should begin to think of cities as "culturesheds" - deeply interconnected social, physical and economic systems that may be more or less attuned to the circulation of artistic ideas.
