Creative People Power

How do we understand the value of an ecosystem? What is the infrastructure that enables system change? These are the questions that started this project.

Through our work at Springboard for the Arts, we felt there was something missing from the conversation. Research on creative placemaking and creative community development has demonstrated that there is great impact from art projects and programs across almost all sectors of our communities. Economic impact studies of the arts have proved that arts activity is a valuable asset to cities and neighborhoods.
