Creative Placemaking Projects
Since 2014, ArtsBergen has been working with the City of Hackensack, Bergen County’s capital, and the Hackensack Main Street Alliance to implement Creative Hackensack, the city’s creative placemaking initiative. With its partner the National Consortium for Creative Placemaking (NCCP), ArtsBergen led a group of over 40 community leaders, the Hackensack Creative Arts Team (CAT), that identified cultural assets, built community support for the arts, and developed a creative placemaking plan for ensuring that arts and culture play an integral, vital role in the city’s redevelopment. ArtsBergen is now a consultant to the city providing ongoing advisory and project development support for its creative placemaking initiative.
