Looking for the opportunity to dive a little deeper? Join us for Civic Practice, Creative Placemaking & Placekeeping: Building Effective Partnerships. This 3-Day CPCP Intensive for Cross Sector Project Teams takes place June 18th - 20th, 2019.
Center for Performance and Civic Practice is a national team of artists who believe that with the right approach, the same tools and capacities that artists use to make art can be utilized to transform systems and improve the impacts of government and community-driven efforts and programs. We are a team of artists who advise, consult and collaborate across the US on projects often framed as Creative Placemaking or 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 CPCP Summer Institutes. This day will share frameworks for arts-based community led transformation, tools for collaborative and cross sector process and case studies to help explore work going on across multiples fields and geographic regions.
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.
The CPCP Civic Practice, Creative Placemaking & Placekeeping 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.
