(Indianapolis, Indiana) - The Indiana Arts Commission (IAC) announced today there are a few registration slots still available for a June workshop on creative placemaking.
One month from today, the IAC will host “From the Ground Up,” a day and a
half-long workshop introducing creative placemaking as a viable strategy for
small and / or primarily rural communities and neighborhoods.
“The registration response has been great, and an indication
that civic leaders recognize the arts can help reshape and revitalize
communities of all sizes,” said IAC Artist and Community Services Manager Anna
Tragesser.
Communities that are embarking on a new placemaking
initiative may find the workshop especially helpful. Sessions will focus on
getting the community on board, setting goals and measuring outcomes, and
managing a long-term initiative.
The June 8 and 9, 2017 workshop will open with a reception
at The Tube Factory
featuring special guest Michael
Orlove with the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA). Orlove is director of
Artist Communities and Presenting & Multidisciplinary Works for the NEA.
Prior to joining the NEA, Orlove was director of the Chicago Department of
Cultural Affairs.
The workshop will include sessions led by artists, and
creative placemaking professionals from across Indiana.
