ArtsLP Community DialoguesPresentation to Rio Rancho Arts Commission

February 13, 2014

The “ArtsLP”

• ArtSpark launched the ArtsLP (Arts Listening Project) in 2013 to discover how the careers and longevity of artists, artisans, designers, and other creatives are best supported in different communities.

• With that goal in mind, ArtSpark facilitates “arts ecosystem” dialogues across a wide spectrum of diverse community stakeholders in select U.S. communities.

• In thinking about sustainability and the arts and “thriving arts ecosystems,” the ArtsLP includes some basic practices and principles: no waste, recycling resources, permeable institutional and special interest boundaries, working together toward the common good, and self-sustaining mechanisms that are interwoven into the community fabric.

• ArtsLP dialogues have been held in ABQ (July 2013), and in Silver City (November, 2013). ArtSpark hopes to include at least two additional communities in 2014 (Rio Rancho?)

“ArtsLP” Steps

• ArtSpark collaborates with community partner to coordinate an ArtsLP community dialogue (e.g., arts commission, local arts and culture organization, local government).

• Invitations to participate: all 14 stakeholder groups. • 9am – 3pm ArtsLP community dialogue.• Dialogue includes a series of questions about the existing arts

ecosystem, voting on priorities, brainstorming actions AND actual work time to get some things DONE.

• Support from ArtSpark after the ArtsLP community dialogue, including the possibility of: follow up consultations, web-based sessions, email conversations, conference calls, etc.

• ArtSpark will be connecting all the ArtsLP communities in 2014/2015 to allow for cross-community sharing, brainstorming, problem solving, and peer support and learning.

• Ongoing evaluation of the ArtsLP re: impacts and outcomes (changes in practice, changes in community partnerships, changes in connections across communities, changes in resources, etc.)
