We are launching our first Placemaking and Cultural Districts Webinar Week. Join us for three 45 minute webinars and learn ways that communities are using cultural and arts and entertainment districts arts as tools for community revitalization and placemaking. Every webinar starts at 3pm ET.
Do you have an area in which you want to create a District? What are the planning steps needed to move you forward? During this webinar you will also hear from experts on how they planned and developed successful and thriving Districts.
As municipalities and regions across the country go about the business of addressing complex issues and planning for their futures, arts and culture are being infused into planning and other public processes. Join us for this Americans for the Arts webinar, which explores the capacities of arts and culture to enliven public process, enhance public dialogue and decision-making, and make for more diverse and meaningful public participation.
This webinar is an overview of Arts, Culture, and Entertainment Districts and the different types and communities they serve. You will learn about ways in which each of these District types have helped become a tool for economic development and revitalization.
