Over 200 area residents attended a series of community conversations held in Beaverton, Gresham, Hillsboro, Milwaukie and Portland which were designed to identify their values and educational priorities. Read the Sellwood Bee article here for a report on the October 29 meeting at the Community Music Center.
Simultaneously, school district leaders were interviewed and arts providers participated in a special session to identify their organizational goals and needs. The results, available in the Stakeholder Feedback Report (pdf), provide the information needed to further define the scope and direction of this initiative.
On November 27th, consultants from Big Thought presented the report and facilitated discussions with partnering school districts and the arts and culture community. Based on these conversations, the Arts Partners Visioning Committee expects to solicit input on a recommended purpose statement by January.
