Issues in culture, heritage, and society in the province include the practice, promotion and maintenance of (1) crafts and the arts, (2) media and recording, (3) institutions of social archiving, celebrating, and educating, (4) cultural traditions and symbolic practices, and (5) vernacular forms of knowledge and living. In addition to this, culture, heritage, and society includes education about how cultural and social forms are accessed, transmitted, protected and reconfigured, and the places in which they occur, whether those places are natural or artificial. It is obvious from the projects and participants involved in these Harris Centre sponsored works that Newfoundland and Labrador includes many diverse cultural groups with distinct traditions, needs, expertise and formations. The theme of culture, heritage, and society is fundamental in promoting regional development and public policy across the province, which is the stated mandate of the Harris Centre. The importance of culture, heritage, and society is shown in Harris Centre programming in two ways. First of all, these activities have inherent social value on their own, but in order to have political and economic value they also require ties to other explicitly commercial concerns, such as tourism, trade, or rural development. This suggests that in order to promote cultural, heritage and social activities, we must reveal their connections and tertiary value in larger and more economically viable projects, such as tourism, in order to bolster the impact and value of both. This is a strategy of corporate sponsorship that works to promote heritage and culture, practices such as painting and sculpture, television and radio, oral culture, design and craft, ...
