Supporting cross-sector collaborations to promote creative problem solving and expand arts participation
When the arts are integrated in other sectors – be that business, government, the sciences, health care, or nonprofits – it fosters creative problem-solving, broadens arts participation, and promotes a virtuous cycle of further investment into the arts.
“Creative placemaking” integrates arts and creativity into community planning and development to strengthen the social, physical, and economic fabrics of communities.
