• One Minneapolis — residents are informed, see themselves represented in City government and have the opportunity to influence decision making. • A hub of economic activity and innovation — entrepreneurs are supported while sector strengths (such as arts) are leveraged. • Living well — residents and visitors have ample arts, cultural, entertainment and recreational opportunities. • Great places - iconic, inviting streets, spaces and buildings create a sense of place and welcome our growing and diversifying population with thoughtful planning and design. One example is Creative CityMaking Minneapolis (CCM) a multi-year, arts -based innovation initiative within Minneapolis City government designed to advance City priorities through in- depth collaborations between City departments and highly skilled community artists. Creative CityMaking Minneapolis is a leading-edge program stewarded by Intermedia Arts, the region's premier multidisciplinary, multicultural arts center, and the ACCE program at the City of Minneapolis. Leveraging the power of the creative process as a resource for the City to make progress on complex challenges, CCM matches experienced community artists with departmental projects generating new intersections.
