Mobilizing Arts and Cultural Resouces for Community Development, 2nd EditionWritten by Jessica Scheuerman
Foreword by Lyz Crane, Deputy Director of ArtPlace America
Mobilizing Arts and Cultural Resources for Community Development, 2nd Edition was made possible by the collective reflections, experience and expertise of the many individuals who have contributed to the Culture Builds Communities program throughout its more than 20 years. This guide is a comprehensive, action-oriented resource for a broad range of arts and cultural advocates—from grassroots community organizers to elected officials— who are approaching the field from many backgrounds and agendas. It expands on Partners’ six gateways for mobilizing resources, which are demonstrated by more than 30 best practices that inspire local action and, in many cases, can be adapted within other communities. It also provides a practical framework, resources and worksheets for mounting a successful project in any community.
