On Wednesday, January 15, 2020, Transforming Community Development Through Arts & Culture explored an evolving era in community development that infuses art and cultural practice.
Attendees learned how artists are working with communities and community development organizations to tackle some of the most pressing and complex issues of our time, and why arts and culture strategies are central to equitable development and racial justice.
Hosted by the New York Fed and the San Francisco Fed, in partnership with ArtPlace America and PolicyLink, the event highlighted stories, ideas, and provocations from the latest Community Development Innovation Review journal, Transforming Community Development Through Arts and Culture.
Free printed copies of the journal were available to attendees while supplies lasted.
