Transforming Community Development through Arts and Culture 
The latest issue of Community Development Innovation Review, “Transforming Community Development through Arts and Culture,” was released today by the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, and co-edited with PolicyLink and ArtPlace America. It highlights changes and practices to the field of creative placemaking and provides new deep dives, perspectives, and analysis. In particular, this edition features research and documentation from ArtPlace’s Community Development Investments (CDI) program, a significant three-year investment of resources and technical assistance in six community development organizations who had not previously worked with the arts and culture sector.
