Culture Blog

at be+cause, we think a lot about culture as a powerful vehicle and arena for change. It is also something we like to create--from producing the Tibetan Freedom Concerts to starting a clothing line to assisting other culture makers in their efforts to create positive social change. Being part of a lab (our parent company is C3 Lab), we like to innovate and experiment. This blog is where you can see it happen.

Tapping into Local Creative Industrial Bases

As you probably know, we're pretty obsessed with the role that creative communities can play in change-making. I just found that Americans for the Arts has put together a database that maps creative industries by state, city, congressional district, state legislative district, county, etc.

Because it is an election year, I started looking at swing states, and noticed that some--like OH, PA, OK, + CO--have more than one city in the top 50 most creative industrial base-cities. It seems to me that this information can be useful somehow in our efforts to move the cultural needle on issues. Maybe someone out there has some ideas as to how.
