Description:
The purpose of this program is to advance a field of creative placemaking leaders, practices, and principles committed to equity and inclusion. For the purposes of this program, creative placemaking is defined as arts, culture, and community-engaged design as central elements of community development and planning that can contribute enhanced pathways for low-income people to lead self-determined, healthy lives and to more just systems. Funding will support projects that involve creative placemaking activities in neighborhoods and field-building initiatives that seek to position culture and creativity as drivers of more just communities. Program goals include:
  1. Supporting the stewardship of the equitable creative placemaking field
  2. Investing in the next generation of creative placemaking leaders of color
  3. Promoting the development of credible evidence and a dissemination strategy that elevates the field’s impact on equitable outcomes
