Center for Performance and Civic Practice (CPCP) is a team of artists who advise, consult and collaborate across the US on projects often framed as Creative Placemaking/Arts and Community Development. We work with institutions and systems including city governments, community-based organizations, arts councils, universities, social service agencies and Parks departments as well as individual artists and arts organizations. Through our work with these entities and relationships with groups like ArtPlace and LISC, we frequently provide technical assistance to cross sector teams in communities who are developing their own capacity for integrating arts, culture and design into projects with public good goals. We are excited to now be offering this sort of capacity-building through this CPCP Summer Institute. Whether you work on the community/civic/municipal or artist side of community partnerships, if you are interested in building your capacity, join CPCP Director Michael Rohd alongside CPCP Managing Director Soneela Nankani for this three day workshop looking at:how to develop creative strategies focused on problem-solving, coalition building and inclusive visioning; how to build individual and/or organizational capacity for cross-sector partnerships; how to invite,listen and incorporate community voices by designing public engagement tactics and project decision-making with values of equity and justice at the core; how to build further local interest, awareness and capacity for this type of work.
Sojourn and CPCP work to support and increase the capacity of artists and community organizations to imagine and collaborate towards racially equitable and economically just communities. People of color and people from traditionally underrepresented populations and communities are especially encouraged to apply.
The CPCP Civic Practice & Creative Placemaking Institute is hosted by The Alice B. Rapoport Center for Education and Engagement at Goodman Theatre as part of a multi year CPCP & Goodman Theatre partnership.
