ABC launches Master Practitioner Certificate in Creative Placemaking
Arts Build Communities has just launched a new initiative to help urban planners, public affairs professionals, and elected and appointed officials build sustainable creative communities and economies.
The Master Practitioner Certificate in Creative Placemaking program combines learning in creative placemaking skills with client and business development. Creative placemaking is an emerging field focused on community and economic development through the arts.
The year-long program is entirely online, but learners will be able to meet their classmates in person at least twice a year. Program faculty include top experts in the field, including Tom Borrup, Juana Guzman and Rhonda Phillips.
Classes begin March 2012, and registration for the program will begin by December 1, 2011.
To earn a Master Practitioner Certificate, learners must pass all six Deep Learning courses, complete at least eight of the ten client/business development sessions, and prepare a reflective paper that demonstrates how they have applied what they learned to a creative placemaking project.
This is a continuing education program and currently is not eligible for graduate credit. However, it offers more on the subject of creative placemaking than any other training or professional development program.
Arts Build Communities provides expertise on how arts connect economic and community development. ABC supports creative sector professionals, economic development professionals, elected and appointed public officials, and urban planners -- as well as the communities they serve. We conduct research, provide training and coaching, and engage in thought leadership.
Arts Build Communities is a center at Rutgers University's Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy. In addition to the Master Practitioner in Creative Placemaking program, ABC provides these programs and services:
