The Creative Placemaking Convocation for State Arts Agency Community Development Coordinators

Divergent Thinking: Making New Connections

In this plenary, participants learn about, observe, and discuss ways of working and partnering for effective creative placemaking in diverse, challenging, and ever-changing circumstances. We hear about examples of effective, unconventional partnerships and ways to help form and support responsive and flexible collaborations. Speakers explore working with mixed goals and organizational cultures to identify synergy as well as potential pitfalls among key community players. They explore when it is appropriate for public sector agencies to push, when to follow, when to get out of the way, and how to better understand and help practitioners navigate complex partnerships.
