Board discusses wayfinding, directory and guest speakers to boost public engagement
Summary
Staff described a county wayfinder and a creatives directory developed with New Mexico Creative Industries support; board members proposed guest speakers and a public workshop on the '3 C' (culture, craft, creativity) economy.
Staff reported two projects intended to help the board and the public learn about county public art: a wayfinder that identifies pieces and landscapes of cultural importance, and a directory of creatives that lists local artists and services. Staff said those projects were supported by a New Mexico Creative Industries grant and county funds.
Board members proposed additional outreach including guest speakers and a countywide workshop. Board member David said he attended a workshop on the '3 C economy' with Dr. Manuel Montoya and suggested inviting the professor to speak locally. "Culture, craft, and creativity," David said when asked to define the '3 C' concept, and he recommended a larger event to gather arts leaders and community members. Staff agreed to post materials on the county website and to explore guest-speaker options for future meetings.
