This summer was incredibly successful for the Boston Creates community engagement process. After the first town hall in June, the Boston Creates community engagement teams held 118 community conversations in 16 neighborhoods and many in multiple languages. More than 40 focus groups engaged participants representing artistic disciplines and service organizations, as well as individuals in education, creative industries, humanities, tourism and economic development. Close to 3000 people responded to the online community survey, designed to explore how individuals define and engage in creative activities
On November 2nd, the cultural planning team will share the initial findings of the community engagement process with the public. Everyone who lives, works and plays in the city is invited to listen and respond to these initial findings as we begin to understand what we’ve heard and start identifying key themes and articulating priorities.
Ultimately, it is these themes and priorities that will form the basis of the strategies in the cultural plan and help us strengthen the city by leveraging and enhancing the creative capital of Boston’s residents, communities, and organizations.
