Strategic Plans Benefit From Arts

In researching successful communities I found opportunities were made for people to come together in creation and celebration of culture and the arts. These communities developed their social capital by cooperating, sharing, and seeking and finding shared goals.

“Civic institutions, like museums, public galleries, community art organizations, performing art institutions, arts councils and public arts organizations have a rare opportunity to lead significant change by engaging specific groups to help devise and carry out creative community-building neighborhood programs.” Economic development to civic participation to healthy living all benefit from connecting with arts and culture.
