LISC'S HOW TO DO CREATIVE PLACEMAKING WEBINARS
This resource offers practical and tactical advice for local leaders, artists, and community development practitioners. In 2016, the National Endowment for the Arts and The Kresge Foundation partnered to launch a pilot technical assistance program in collaboration with LISC and PolicyLink which served 16 communities across the country.

MOVING FROM ENGAGING TO ORGANIZING WITH ARTS AND CULTURAL STRATEGIES
This is the third in a series of briefs that describe the changes, insights, and lessons when arts and cultural strategies are deployed in service of comprehensive community development and planning. During ArtPlace America's Community Development Investments initiative, six participating organizations which had not previously focused on the arts developed creative placemaking projects and cultural strategies that could help them more effectively achieve their missions. PolicyLink conducted a research and documentation project to measure the progress, immediate outcomes, and impacts of those projects. This brief examines how community developers working with artists created innovative ways of organizing residents and building power for policy change.
