UNDER THE HOOD CREATIVE PLACEMAKING WEBINAR
Funding Creative Placemaking is a challenge, but some Developers have figured out ways to include creative placemaking in their budgets and process, though it doesn't always fit nicely or neatly into development timelines and budgets. This webinar takes a roll-up-our-sleeves deep dive into the budgets behind some of your favorite Creative Placemaking efforts. It goes under the hood of the budgets of these projects to explore how arts and culture were paid for and phased. This webinar provides a lively conversation breaking down how arts and culture gets integrated into development in a deep way.

VOICES FROM THE FIELD
A collection of videos of advice, guidance, and tips gathered from our creative placemaking colleagues!

WHY PUBLIC ART MATTERS 2018
Art in public spaces plays a distinguishing role in our country’s history and culture. It reflects and reveals our society, enhances meaning in our civic spaces, and adds uniqueness to our communities.This document explores how public art impacts five community values: Economic Growth and Sustainability, Attachment and Cultural Identity, Artists as Contributors, Social Cohesion and Cultural Understanding, and Public Health and Belonging. This document is designed as a tool for those making the case for public art in their community.

WORKING WITH ARTISTS TO DEEPEN IMPACT
The first in a series of briefs by PolicyLink documenting lessons and stories from ArtPlace America’s Community Development Investments program. This brief will explore the theme of collaborative practice, or how community-based organizations cultivated working relationships with artists, and how they have significantly changed the approaches through which community preservation and revitalization can take place.

WORKING WITH ARTISTS TO DEEPEN IMPACT WEBINAR
This webinar, with leaders of community-based organizations and the artists with whom they have partnered, focuses on the lessons learned from their collaborative practice. The webinar is based in the four-year journeys of the six organizations that participated in ArtPlace America’s Community Development Investments program — from identifying partners and formalizing relationships, to uncovering the hidden assets and talents of staff. These experiences also provide lessons for community development corporations, nonprofit housing developers, park associations, health services providers, and economic development agencies on leveraging small-scale arts and culture work into larger, more ambitious projects, and addressing challenges, accepting critique, and learning from mistakes.
