National Consortium for Creative Placemaking gets continued support from the Dodge Foundation

By Leonardo Vazquez

The National Consortium for Creative Placemaking is excited to report that it has received $11,000 from the Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation in June. The grant will help support our work building capacity and connections for better creative placemaking in New Jersey.

Specifically, we will use this funding to support creative sector research in New Jersey, the Sustainable Jersey Arts and Culture Task Force, develop a creative placemaking leadership summit in 2015, community coaching in New Jersey, and other activities.

We appreciate the continued support and guidance of the Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation.

About The National Consortium for Creative Placemaking

The National Consortium for Creative Placemaking (NCCP) was created to build capacity for sustainable and cost-effective creative placemaking.

Creative placemaking is a new way of making communities more livable and prosperous through the arts, and making them better places for the arts. Creative placemaking is about more than public art or performing arts centers. It is about making places better for everyone.

NCCP provides community coaching, practical research and thought leadership to help cultural and civic leaders build their capacity to do creative placemaking... better

How we add value

The National Consortium provides a wide variety of services in four areas:

Community coaching -- Through this program, we help teams of community stakeholders build clear and cost-effective strategies for creative placemaking, and strengthen their abilities to implement their strategies.

Continuing education -- We provide in-person and online training and learning in creative placemaking. We created the innovative and respected Certificate in Creative Placemaking at New Hampshire Institute of Art.

Thought leadership -- We promote high quality creative placemaking in multiple ways -- from the strategically placed op-ed, to the podium on the stage, to the quiet conversation with key influencers.

Creative Placemaking planning -- We provide a wide range of planning services to strengthen your plan. NCCP works in partnership with the Nishuane Group, which specializes in resolving land use and economic development issues.

We'll have more information on our services soon. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions.
