City Dep(ART)ment

Various departments within a city’s administration engage with cultural organizations and creative individuals in myriad ways. A key aspect of city administration is the engagement and incorporation of art into the overall strategic vision. This can take the shape of innovative programs that provide support to individual artists and art organizations, to planning and building public spaces that encourage play and social interaction. Another approach is embedding the artist right into the core of the city department, promoting a connection and awareness between makers and producers to the rich resources that define the city.
