Building Creative CommunitiesThe arts can help communities in many ways: Make communities better places to live and visit; help children learn critical skills for the 21st century economy; provide bridges to manage tensions among groups; and promote stewardship. This course explores how the arts can achieve all these goals, and how planners and cultural professionals can more effectively build arts-friendly communities. Participants can learn from the success of communities around the United States, and share ideas with their classmates. Working with an expert in cultural planning, every participant will get the opportunity to develop a set of strategies to promote arts-based community development in a community of their choice. This course, designed by Tom Borrup and Leonardo Vazquez, is for cultural leaders and civic-minded artists who want to be more effective and influential.
