The Urban Institute This brief is informed by policy
forums held by The Living Cultures Project in New Orleans in 2008-2009
to address key policy issues confronting neighborhood and cultural
life. It focuses on a growing number of agencies and programs to not
only support the arts in urban centers, but to develop and support a
growing “artistic workforce.” How can the arts help to improve
communities through job creation?
In this group we hope that you will find effective community development strategies that you can discuss with members in this group and utilize in your own communities to improve the quality of life for all those that live there.
