CREATIVE PLACEMAKING COMMUNITIES

Creative Placemaking Communities (CPC) works to advance the field of creative practice by supporting people who believe in the power of arts and culture to shape communities.  

 

Through professional development, educational opportunities, idea exchanges, project management, consulting and technical assistance for creative placemaking, CPC brings people together to inspire and help create more livable communities. 
 

Our popular events bring people working in creative practice together to help form partnerships, projects, programs and policies. Events have been successfully produced in cities such as Los Angeles, Atlanta, Chapel Hill, Chattanooga and Denver.
