PROBLEM SOLVING THROUGH ARTS AND CULTURE STRATEGIES: CREATIVE PLACEMAKING GUIDANCE FOR LOCAL GOVERNMENTS
This comprehensive resource is for local government managers and their staff considering, launching, or continuing a creative placemaking journey. It explores how outside-the-box processes can offer new ways for government staff and community stakeholders to communicate, build trust, and collaborate. It illustrates roles artists can play across a wide range of contexts, and provides guidance on navigating these processes from defining the opportunity to building the team to structuring and sustaining partnerships. The document is also full of case studies, testimonials, links to tools and additional resources, and prompts to help managers consider how these approaches might benefit their own communities.
