Creative Alliance Milwaukee Vision and Strategic Plan
In April 2011, when Creative Alliance Milwaukee was launched, we worked to develop a vision and strategic plan, based upon all the good work contributed on the highly successful Creativity Works! project. Using that work as a starting point, we gathered a small group of artists, community, education, and business leaders to hone in on a more specific vision and plan to provide focus for the organization. During the fall of 2011, the Creative Alliance Board and staff worked to fine-tune the following proposed vision and plan. Should you be interested in helping with any of the presented initiatives, please email Kimberly Rosby, Communications and Operations Manager.
Creative Alliance Milwaukee 2012 Vision and Strategic Plan
Creative Education Project (March 2012)
Creative Alliance Milwaukee received a grant from Northwestern Mutual Foundation last fall to explore the reframing of arts education to creative education in order to 1) expand the community educational programming beyond arts to include design, film/media and new creative technologies, and 2) to create a better vocabulary for dialogue between arts education and the business community through a focus on creativity skill development.
This project involved a community-wide Advisory Council as well as significant internet research along with in-depth interviews with local senior human resource executives on ‘creativity’ in the workplace. The findings, conclusions and recommended next steps have profound implications for building a bridge between the self-identified creativity needs of the workplace and the creative education offerings of this community. This was an exciting project and CAM is very grateful for the Northwestern Mutual Foundation’s belief in this exploration and the hard work of all members of the Advisory Council.
