Cultural Planning Made Simple: Lessons from the Cleveland Playbook

Cultural planning is a great tool for bringing a diverse array of stakeholders into alignment around arts and culture priorities. Well-constructed processes that are community- and data-driven can yield impressive long-term results that foster the health and vitality of your community’s arts and cultural assets and create opportunity for broader community development.
