CultureBlocks Philadelphia
From 2011 to 2013, SIAP worked in partnership with Reinvestment Fund and PolicyMap, the Philadelphia Office of Arts, Culture, and the Creative Economy (OACCE), and the Philadelphia Department of Commerce to develop a cultural asset mapping tool and social wellbeing indexes for the City of Philadelphia. The project was made possible by support from the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA Our Town Program) and ArtPlace America.
