Christensen joins Leadership Institute

Community Design Group's Carrie Christensen, MLA, has been accepted to Intermedia Arts' 2011 Creative Community Leadership Institute (formerly ICCD).

The program is one of only a few nationwide to provide comprehensive, professional-level training and support for local community-engaged artists and community developers. Led by a core faculty of leading thinkers in the field of community cultural development, it has trained many of the Twin Cities' most active community artists, organizers and developers.

The Creative Community Leadership Institute matches people who work at the intersection of the arts and community development with the tools and experiences to address social justice issues affecting our communities. Based on the fundamental belief that the future health of communities demands innovative, cross-sector leadership at every level, this program builds a dynamic core of capable leaders and partnerships over an intensive five-month program of hands-on workshops and on-site experiences.

Carrie will incorporate lessons from the Institute into CDG's ongoing work in community engagement and urban design to build meaningful partnerships across community development and the arts.
