On Thursday, June 24, 2010, City Council passed a resolution to endorse The CreateAustin Cultural Master Plan.
CreateAustin is a community cultural planning process that will identify Austin’s creative assets and challenges, define goals, and establish recommendations to invigorate Austin’s “culture of creativity.” This public/private collaboration will define specific strategies for community-wide implementation in order to sustain Austin as a magnet for arts, culture, and creativity.
The top 2 recommendations of the plan are:
- Establish a CreateAustin leadership task Force to assist in plan implementation
- Form a community-based Creative Alliance to provide essential services to individuals and organizations
With the help of the CreateAustin Leadership Task Force and board and staff of the longstanding community-based organization formerly known as Austin Circle of Theaters, and all of the community members who participated in this process, The Greater Austin Creative Alliance is now ready to lead this charge.
