 City Arts and Culture Discussion:
Examining the Link between Arts and Culture and a Community's Economic Vitality


Arts and Culture is clearly visible all over the City of Lakewood.  From the designs created by Virginia Marti students to the dramatic productions at the Beck to the artists' studios at the Lake Erie Screw Building... art is a way of life in Lakewood. 

 
The Lakewood Planning Commission Sub-Committee on Arts & Culture will host two community meetings to discuss arts and culture in Lakewood.  The first meeting will be held on Tuesday, April 7, 2009 from 7:00 PM to 8:30 PM at the Beck Center for the Arts, 17801 Detroit Avenue.  The second meeting will be held on Wednesday, April 22, 2009 from 7:00 PM to 8:30 PM.  The location of the second meeting will be announced at a later date. The Community Meetings aim to actively encourage and support a lively and progressive arts and cultural discussion on the subject of Arts and Culture as an opportunity for economic stability.  The public is encouraged to attend. 
 
The Community Meetings will focus on three primary questions: 
· What do artists need and want to make Lakewood the place they live and work?
· What are Arts and Culture Districts?
· How do would we benefit from them?

The moderator for both evenings will be Tom Schorgl, President of Community Partnership for Arts and Culture (CPAC).  Among Schorgl's achievements with CPAC's staff have been working with Cleveland City Council to develop a Live/Work ordinance that enable the creation of downtown spaces in which artists can reside as well as maintain their work studios; provided program development counsel for Cuyahoga County Department of Development to implement its Arts & Culture as Economic Development (ACE) grants; creating CPAC's Artist as Entrepreneur Institute to provide business training to artists;  recent work to strengthen the partnerships between artists and neighborhood development corporations through the Rust Belt to Artist Belt conference, and the launching in January of the Creative Workforce Fellowship program designed to retain and expand the County's artists.

Lakewood Planning Commission Sub-Committee on Arts & Culture members include Councilmembers Nickie Antonio and Mary Louise Madigan; Planning Commission members Tom Einhouse and Bill Grulich; Ruthie Koenigsmark and Sharon Kinsella from Lakewood is Art; and dl Meckes.   This Committee was formed with the sole purpose of organizing community meetings to glean artist and resident opinion on the subject of Art and Culture as an economic catalyst.
