Creative Placemaking & Welcoming: Tips and Tools for Integrating Arts, Culture, and Immigration

In communities where arts institutions also play a role in welcoming, organizations reap the benefits of inclusion as they attract more diverse audiences, reflect their changing communities, and make communities more vibrant.

Creative Placemaking & Welcoming: Tips and Tools for Integrating Arts, Culture, and Immigration was created as an entry point and companion piece to the field scan Bridging Divides, Creating Community: Arts, Culture, and Immigration — A Creative Placemaking Field Scan by John Arroyo, Ph.D., AICP, and published by ArtPlace America and Welcoming America in 2020. It is intended as a best practice guide for practitioners of immigrant integration seeking to work with artists and culture makers to foster more welcoming communities.
