A Message from Our Founder
So many of you have reached out to me with the same question: How can we better connect with one another, across our disciplines, across regions, and across the diverse needs of the communities we serve?
As professionals who work at the intersection of arts, culture, community development, architecture, planning, and social and economic impact, we occupy a very special and meaningful space.
Whether you are an visual artist, musician, filmmaker, architect, urban planner, arts council or a professional in community and economic development - how do you connect with others that you need to make your projects, programs and policies come together strategically, collaboratively and effectively?
The CPC Network is designed to be a place that breaks down our silos, and where arts, culture, and creative practice can grow through collaboration, connection, and collective support.
