  The Creative Economy Leveraging the Arts, Culture and Creative Community for a Stronger Columbus Presented by: Creative Columbus Policy Steering Committee 9 April 2007 The Creative Economy: Leveraging the Arts, Culture and Creative Community for a Stronger Columbus  PG2 9 APRIL 2007 DATE PROJECT From the Steering Committee Chairman In a letter dated 17 January 2006, former Columbus City Council President Matt Habash  articulated the need for this task force: "City Council is moving forward with a thoughtful  review of arts and cultural funding…Columbus City Council created the Greater Columbus  Arts Council nearly thirty years ago.  the environment has changed for arts and  culture organizations, particularly in regards to the new economy."  City Council asked this task force to reexamine how the character and implementation of  the City’s arts and cultural policy could best advance the community’s creative interests.  We were asked to make policy recommendations about a cooperative approach to community arts and cultural support, one that could promote the viability of long- established, community-embraced organizations and that would encourage the future  growth of our local arts and cultural community. After 12 meetings, which took place from July 2006 to January 2007 with a diverse representative group of leaders from various sectors of this community—and with input from suburban arts councils and city arts councils from other parts of the state and nation, as well as representatives from city groups like Experience Columbus—we are pleased to  present our fi ndings. The ideas in this document are not set in cement. They should be changed and updated  from time to time to refl ect the most current thinking. It is a document that should help move us all toward understanding what makes for a creative community and why it can be  successful.  Ultimately,  we  must  all  work  together  to  build  a  creative  Columbus.                                                     My sincere thanks to the task force, who worked so hard to create this report, and to City  Council, who cares so much about the creative interests of our city. —  Wayne P. Lawson, Ph.D Chairman, Creative Columbus Policy Steering Committee The Creative Economy: Leveraging the Arts, Culture and Creative Community for a Stronger Columbus  PG3 9 APRIL 2007 DATE PROJECT […]
