ABC to offer cultural planning leadership program in Fall 2010
Through an innovative new Arts Build Communities program, civic and cultural leaders around the United States can work together to develop the creative economy in their communities.
The program, tentatively titled Leadership for Sustainable Cultural Planning, is scheduled to run from September 2010 through February 2011.
Here's how the program will work: Participants, who will be teams of civic and cultural leaders, will come to Rutgers University in September to learn from experts about policies and regulations that have worked to support cultural development. Participants will spend the next few months determining what would work best in their communities. They will be mentored by experts in cultural planning, community development and economic development. In February, participants come back together at Rutgers to share what they learned -- and offer advice for other leaders.
The program is still being developed, and more information will be available soon. If you would like to learn more or get updates, please subscribe to the ABC electronic mailing list.

Arts Build Communities is produced by the Professional Development Institute of Rutgers University's Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy.
