ARTPLACE FIELD SCAN: EXPLORING THE WAYS ARTS AND CULTURE INTERSECTS WITH PUBLIC SAFETY
This resource is an inquiry into the state of arts, culture, and creative placemaking as it relates to the public safety sector. Creative placemaking goals align well with important public safety goals that are associated with reductions in violence and criminal activity, and a growing community of practitioners at the intersection of these two fields is well-poised to promote further collaboration and learning. Projects at this intersection fall into five distinct areas of activity that are known precursors to community safety outcomes.
