CALLING ALL ARTISTS!
The City of Superior Culture ,Events, and Public Art Commission is bringing community members together to discuss collaborations, policies, and programs that move Superior forward as a creative place to live, work and play. This is the launch of an ongoing, collaborative placemaking and placekeeping process involving everyone who cares about the future of the region.
This will be a collaborative meeting of people who care about and are working for Superior’s artistic future. Invitees include creative workers and businesses, community and business organizations and partners, and elected officials and civic leaders. Our facilitator is Anne Katz, Director of Create Wisconsin, the state’s community cultural development organization, and a noted leader in creative economy advocacy and service.
In the 21st century, investing in cultural attributes and creative enterprises attracts business investment, which in turn attracts more businesses and greater economic opportunity for the residents who live there. Businesses want to locate—and grow—in vibrant communities with thriving downtowns and amenities for workers and their families. Indeed, Forward Analytics, in their 2022 report, Moving In? Exploring Wisconsin’s Migration Challenges, suggests that bolstering amenities that appeal to young adults should be part of a multi-pronged approach to attract talent and enhance quality of life.
Superior has creative people, organizations, businesses, and programs in abundance. Now’s the time to come together to plan for a bright future for everyone, everywhere in the city. Please join us!
