Creative Providence Cultural plan will:

• Be the result of a broadly inclusive, city-wide process;
• Attempt to integrate arts, culture, and creativity into all aspects of city life by making specific, realistic recommendations for action;
• Aim to stimulate economic development, strengthen the creative economy, education, and civic engagement, and, enhance the quality of life in the City of Providence;
• Serve as a catalyst for metro and statewide conversations about the evolution of arts, culture, and creativity in Providence;
• Recognize artists, arts administrators, and cultural institutions as leaders already shaping the 21st century environment; and
• Provide emerging arts leaders and experienced professionals a collaborative platform to explore innovative and creative strategies for enriching arts, culture, and creativity in the capital city. 

The CCEDC serves the entire Cape. Having facilitated a strategic planning process and drafted a plan in 2003, New Commons was recently re-engaged to facilitate the process of updating the plan.

This is RI's largest and fastest growing comprehensive human service organization that responds creatively to the unmet needs of individuals, families, and the community by building partnerships that help people help themselves: Projects included strategic planning, coaching, team building, and organizational structure to the states.
