Honorable Mayor Michael Bloomberg proclaims week of May 10th as “Creative Week

New York, NY  – The Honorable Mayor Michael Bloomberg this week confirmed that he will proclaim the week of May 10th “Creative Week” for The One Club’s Second Annual Creative Week.  The One Club, the world’s foremost non-profit organization dedicated to elevating creative work in the advertising industry, earlier this month announced the initial line-up for the Second Annual Creative Week, taking place in New York City from May 10 to May 16, 2010. Creative Week is a celebration of creativity in advertising, design, digital media and the arts. The One Club and the Creative Week Board of Advisors invite all organizations involved in the creative life of New York City—museums, theater and dance companies, advertising and design agencies, bands, filmmakers, etc.—to participate by hosting an event.

Creative Week NYC events can be registered at www.creativeweeknyc.org. Events can include but are not limited to lectures, presentations, screenings, exhibitions, lunches and get-togethers. There are no fees to participate, and all events are independently planned and staged by the participating organizations. All events will be promoted on the Creative Week Site. Creative Week and selected individual events will be highlighted at Flavorpill.com, a media partner for Creative Week.

"We are very honored that Mayor Bloomberg has officially declared “Creative Week” in New York City," says Kevin Swanepoel President of The One Club, "Creative Week began when we saw that the 4,000-5,000 creative professionals we were bringing to New York each year for the One Show Festival presented an excellent opportunity for New York’s creative organizations to attract an enthusiastic and influential new audience to their events."
