In this region, creativity is a part of everything we do, everything we are. Over the past 22 months, more than 1,500 citizens participated in the “Regional Creative Capacity Project,” an assessment of the region’s stengths and weaknesses when it comes to culture, creativity and the arts. This Action Plan is the culmination of the regional research. http://www.creativecapacity.org/media/uploads/RACC_Act.pdf
It addresses:
- How can we expand access to the inspiration, education and entertainment that our creative community provides?
- How can we better support existing institutions, organizations, artists and businesses that contribute to our creative vitality?
- How can we grow the creative community and its continued advocacy?
With your help, we can continue answering these questions and more.
I attended the meeting on the 13th and I am very much interested in determining how our community may participate in this Regional Arts and Culture Council program. Our city is currently organizing an Arts and Murals organization and we hope to also establish a Co-op Art Gallery. The City will be sponsoring an Arts and Music Festival, June 26, 28, 2009, in Molalla, Oregon. We hope to see a regional engagement and collaboration in this type of activity and invite all interested artists of all kinds to attend.
