Abstract
Report completed by students enrolled in PA 5253: Planning Participation Processes, taught by Dr. Carissa Schively Slotterback in fall 2013.This project was completed as part of the 2013-2014 Resilient Communities Project (rcp.umn.edu) partnership with the City of North St. Paul. The City of North St. Paul once had an active arts council. Looking to revitalize arts in the community, the City hoped to develop more resident interest and input in a public art program. Project lead Jon Fure worked with students in Dr. Carissa Schively Slotterback’s PA 5253: Planning Participation Processes course to outline a public art engagement plan. The students outlined an engagement timeline and developed an engagement programs “cookbook” for the City. This is one of two projects completed on this topic in this course. The final report is available.This project was supported by the Resilient Communities Project (RCP), a program at the University of Minnesota whose mission is to connect communities in Minnesota with U of MN faculty and students to advance community resilience through collaborative, course-based projects. RCP is a program of the Center for Urban and Regional Affairs (CURA). More information at http://www.rcp.umn.edu
