The Center for the Study of Art & Community is an association of creative leaders from business, government, and the arts who have succeeded in building bridges between the arts and a wide range of community, public and private sector interests. CSA&C has over thirty years experience building arts-based community development collaborations in educational, community, and social institutions. We provide expert guidance for developing artistic, educational, funding, community development and political partnerships among artists, arts organizations and school and community based partners. CSA&C's clients include: artists and arts organizations, educational, human service and criminal justice agencies and the business and philanthropic communities. The center helps community organizations, public agencies, schools, and arts organizations respond assertively and creatively to increasingly complex community needs. To do this we work with clients to build and maintain new cultural development and creative placemaking partnerships. We also help educational institutions strengthen their relationships with the broader community using the arts. CSA&C activities are: research/evaluation, planning, publishing, training, lectures, and management consulting services.
