ARTS-BASED STRATEGIES FOR ORGANIZING COMMUNITIES AND STRENTHENING THEIR SOCIAL FABRIC
This webinar features leaders of community-based organizations and the artists with whom they have partnered to hear the stories and learn the lessons from their local strategies and internal transformation. The webinar is  based in the four-year journeys and future plans of the Little Tokyo Service Center in downtown Los Angeles and the Southwest Minnesota Housing Partnership as well as the other organizations in ArtPlace America’s Community Development Investments (CDI) initiative. Their cultural strategies to address gentrification, the conditions faced by immigrants and other critical issues provide lessons for nonprofit housing developers, community development corporations, health services providers, park associations, and economic development agencies about how these new forms of organizing and community-building really work.
