integrating arts and culture into the ways we create our cities THE ART OF CHANGE Our mission is To support and foster the integration of arts and culture STRATEGIES into the ways we envision plan and develop healthy communities. At Civic Arts we envision a world where arts and culture are fully embedded in the way we build our towns and cities and where all are invited with their full selves to our civic spaces. We help bring together artists culturebearers and their organizations to work alongside municipal and community development organizations in order to cocreate responses to complex local issues. Working as policy makers researchers educators and community engagement specialists at Civic Arts we understand that community challenges are also opportunities to both reach out more broadly and dig deeper into ourselves for answers.
