Community Ownership and Self-Determination
This research explores community ownership models used by organizations in Atlanta, Boston, Lisjan Territory, and New Orleans and finds that there is growing momentum to build democratically controlled and community-embedded institutions that are culturally centered. It highlights how organizations pursuing community ownership are using an ecosystem approach, shared decisionmaking structures, and community learning opportunities to advance their models and points to ways that funders and other actors can support this work.
Creativity Connects: Trends and Conditions Affecting U.S. Artists
CCI, in partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts, is pleased to announce the launch of a new report on U.S. artists. The report describes significant changes that alter definitions of artists, how they sustain their practice, and yet-unrealized potential to contribute positively to social issues and apply creativity throughout all sectors. This research was supported by Surdna Foundation and Doris Duke Charitable Foundation.
