Creative Providence - Frontpage

Portal page for "Creative Providence," billed as "a cultural plan for the City" by Providence Mayor David N. Cicilline. Good looking site, friendly UI, easy to navigate. Could/ should be a model for other cities (wish we'd build something like this for Cultural Capital Victoria...).

Note: somewhat mind-blowing - the City of Providence has its own Department of Art, Culture + Tourism... Wow, I guess they take this stuff seriously!

  • The cultural plan will explore the current strengths, weaknesses, challenges, and opportunities for the City's arts, creative, and cultural sector. The focus will be on stimulating economic development, strengthening the creative economy, education, civic engagement, and enhancing the quality of life in the City of Providence. It will better position the City to realize its full potential as a creative center and to deliver on its promise of innovation and change.
  • Providence's cultural planning process and the creation of the plan will be a collaborative effort led by two consulting firms: Craig Dreeszen, a nationally recognized cultural planner, and the staff from Providence-based think tank, New Commons.  Dr. Dreeszen will guide the steering committee and produce the formal cultural plan. Robert Leaver, of New Commons, will design and facilitate the public forums - including a conference, online website, and an operating network  to guide the development of the plan.
