The New York State Council on the Arts (NYSCA) convened a Cultural Blueprint session in Utica this week. Hosted by the newly renovated Stanley Center for the Arts, this session, like others already implemented throughout NY, was held to gather input from the Mohawk Valley on arts and culture and economic development. The info from these public forums will help create strategies and opportunities for the arts to serve as a "catalyst for cultural, economic and community development."
On the surface this meeting may have focused on the arts, but the topics were applicable to all nonprofits. Brainstorming discussions were held on: infrastructure; intellectual capital and workforce development; international; investment and financial models; and image/identity. Partnerships and collaborations were a clear theme, and NYSCA will be posting the other outcomes and suggested action ideas on the Cultural Blueprint blog. This information will be invaluable to the Oneida and Herkimer ED Group in their future efforts.
Take a look at this resource and share any thoughts on ideas that the Group may want to explore.
