RBAB2 is a continuation of the conversation that began at last May’s From Rust Belt to Artist Belt summit about how artists and community developers are partnering in their efforts to reinvent the industrial Midwest. This year’s event will be held on Thurs., Sept. 17th, and Fri., Sept. 18th, in Cleveland, OH’s Detroit-Shoreway neighborhood, which is rapidly revitalizing through the implementation of artist-based community development projects and the growth of the Gordon Square Arts District. For more information on RBAB2 or to register for the event please visit: http://www.cpacbiz.org/
We look forward to receiving your submissions!
Sincerely,
Kristin L. Tarajack, research manager
