Lessons from the Cultural Corridor Consortium
Hear from local leaders who have used the arts and creative practices to address pressing transportation challenges
It’s been about a year since we kicked off the Cultural Corridor Consortium where three
cities are using arts and culture to tackle entrenched transportation challenges. On Monday, September 17, we’ll feature project leaders from each of these three cities—Indianapolis, Los Angeles, and Dothan, AL—on a webinar to share stories about their creative
placemaking work.
On the hour-long webinar, you’ll have the opportunity to learn about the integral role that art, culture, and artists themselves have had in transforming typical community engagement processes and
the design of streets in these communities. From hiring an artist-in-residence to lead community outreach for a highway corridor revitalization project in Dothan, AL to creating artistic interventions along Indianapolis’s new bus rapid transit lines to boost
ridership, the 3C participants have found a myriad of ways to use the arts to bolster transportation projects. Join us on the webinar at
2 p.m. EST on Monday, September 17 to hear from local leaders about their projects’ successes, challenges, and next steps. It may even leave you inspired with ideas for how arts & culture can play a role in solving your own community’s unique transportation-related
challenges.
