As you may already know, a series of forums were held recently to explore the challenges, opportunities, and priorities facing the creative community in Long Beach. These forums arose from a series of informal mixers started by the Creativity Network which was co-founded by Arts Council Executive Board member Antonio Pedro Ruiz. These mixers brought together local arts professionals, leaders of arts organizations, and others in the creative community. Everyone agreed that the City would benefit from a clear, unified vision, a Master Plan for the City’s creative and cultural efforts. The forums were an effort to create focus for advocacy efforts in support of a Cultural Master Plan.
We are pleased and proud to publish the initial results from these first two forums. We’ve decided to distribute them in the form of a PDF document.
You’ll need a PDF viewer to read the document. Adobe Acrobat Reader is the “official” reader, but people in the know use Foxit PDF Reader. Both are free, but Foxit is a much smaller download.
If, for whatever reason, you are unable to view this document, please contact Antonio directly for an alternate version.
