WOONSOCKET – The Woonsocket Creative Placemaking Project is asking city artists and arts businesses to complete a survey and attend an event next week as part of its effort to revitalize Woonsocket through arts-based investment.
In an effort to better understand artists’ needs, project representatives want to hear their input. The survey can be found at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/2XSHB63.
The kickoff event will be held at Ciro’s Tavern, 42 Cherry St., from 5 to 8 p.m. on March 11.
“Even those who make art just for personal expression are critical to this project,” Brad Fesmire, artistic and program director at Riverzedge Arts, said in a statement. “We really need to hear and learn from everyone in a dance troupe or a jazz band. Everyone who makes art in a studio or in their basement, who keeps alive an artistic tradition from afar, or who has a shop, or dreams of a shop, just around the corner for furniture, sound or design.”
The idea for the project started two years ago, when the city, in partnership with Riverzedge Arts, was awarded an Our Town grant from the National Endowment for the Arts.
At that time, research had identified the arts and culture sector as “the desirable pathway forward to a thriving, vibrant city,” according to information from WCPP.
