CoreMessage
Cultural Alliance Case Study
Evolving Engagement
Gap in policymaker support and political support Policymakers need more street-level political
support to increase funding and policy support Community activists & voters see high value in
the arts, but aren’t connected to the arts community
Political impression: stronger support for the arts will not be supported on the street
Cultural Alliance Case Study
Observations
Policymakers: need to maintain economic and social momentum during an economic downturn
Artists, Arts & cultural organizations: want a vital arts community that grows stronger in products, support and revenue.
Community activists: seeking resources for individual and community growth
Arts participants & audiences: seeking continuance of individual vitality and growth despite tough economic times.
