Next Week! Join us for the next Cultural Policy Action Lab Public Learning Series
Infrastructure, Placemaking & Placekeeping
Wednesday, July 6 at 11am PDT | 2pm EDT
Public infrastructure that supports creative activation such as cultural facilities and districts are central to authentic belonging in place. Join David Holland of Western States Arts Federation, and Cezanne Charles of rootoftwo to unpack how policy making often focuses solely on a narrow understanding of “infrastructure” and leaves out other vital conditions like digital access, safety and transportation access, and informal social infrastructures that facilitate community power and wellness. This session will examine new frameworks to consider building more equitable infrastructure policies.
