“Arts engagement, cultural planning, and design projects should represent the distinct character and quality of their communities, and be carried out by a nonprofit organization in partnership with a local government entity. The National Endowment for the Arts plans to support a variety of projects across the country in urban to rural communities of all sizes. Successful Our Town projects will impact livability by affecting community priorities such as public safety, health, blight and vacancy, environment, job creation, equity, local business development, civic participation, and/or community cohesion. Arts engagement projects support artistically excellent artistic production or practice as the focus of creative placemaking work. This includes artist-led projects that impact livability. Cultural planning projects support the development of artistically excellent local support systems necessary for creative placemaking to succeed. Design projects that demonstrate artistic excellence while supporting the development of places where creative activities occur, or where the identity of place is created or reinforced.”
