NEA Announces Creativity Connects Initiative
Submitted by Steve on January 8, 2016
As part of the NEA’s 50th anniversary, the agency is launching Creativity Connects, a leadership initiative intended to show how the arts contribute to the nation’s creative ecosystem while investigating the ways in which the support systems for the artists are changing and exploring how the arts can connect with other sectors that want and utilize creativity. The initiative has three components:
- an infrastructure report that will provide an overview of the types of artistic practices and how they’re expanding, and the key resources that artists need in order to produce their best work.
- an interactive graphic that shows the elements of the arts-based creative ecosystem in the United States
- a pilot grant opportunity to support partnerships between arts organizations and organizations from non-arts sectors
