An Important Opportunity for Individuals and Neighborhoods to Participate in the Madison Cultural Plan
The Madison Cultural Plan is launching a Toolkit designed to allow interested citizens to contribute ideas and information.
The Toolkit will be previewed in a hands-on workshop at the 2009 Mayor's Neighborhood Roundtable, an annual convening hosted by the Mayor to connect neighborhood activists with current city issues, projects, and resources. At the workshop, neighborhood residents will learn what the cultural plan can mean at the neighborhood level and how to use the Toolkit to host discussion groups and submit opinions and ideas from those groups directly to the planning team.
Since arts and cultural activity at the neighborhood level is a critical and often ignored part of any city's creative environment, it's important to make sure your neighborhood is included. In addition, the Toolkit can be used in other settings such as businesses, faith community organizations, professional associations, schools, or even among friends-where ever a small group of interested citizens can be gathered.
Please come, and ask you neighborhood association to attend the workshop as well. Bring others who are interested in the Madison's arts, cultural, and creative issues. We need your support to make sure every city neighborhood has an opportunity to be heard.
The Roundtable is a free event. Details and Registration
