        Creative Placemaking: Strengthening Communities with Arts at the Core

        Community Development

        2024 | Creative Placemaking

        Creative placemaking integrates arts, culture, and design activities into efforts that strengthen communities. Sometimes also called creative place-keeping or place-knowing, this work is rooted in the understanding that all communities have intrinsic value, unique assets, cultural significance, and that projects in the community must be informed by and relevant to the members of that community. 

        Since 2016, the Creative Placemaking Technical Assistance Program (CPTA) has offered resources to support community groups, artists, government agencies, and other stakeholders in their creative placemaking efforts. The CPTA program is a partnership program between National Endowment for the Arts’ Design & Creative Placemaking team and Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC).
