At the Neighborhood Scale
- Think. How do you want your neighborhood to look? What does art mean to you, and how does it show up in your neighborhood?
- Plan. Collaborate with The Arts Commission to create a plan for art in your neighbohood. This could range from murals to park designs to vacant lot clean ups.
- Act. Start incorporating creativity into your daily life. Get involved with arts and culture organizations and make the extra effort to support pleasing designs in your neighborhood.
- Maintain. Read and get involved with the Toledo Strategic Plan for Arts and Culture. Create lasting changes and maintain the quality of art projects for years to come.
- Go Beyond.
- Create a public art installation that reflects your neighborhood. Contact The Arts Commission for assistance.
- Use community-based artists and neighborhood contributions to design your artwork.
- Identify ways you could be making more use of vacant lots. Determine how they could enhance the community.
- Strengthen neighborhood groups to support and advocate for neighborhood-wide needs.
