CREATIVE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT THROUGH STRATEGY

Lions & Rabbits Center for the Arts’ (CFA) mission is rooted in transforming challenges into opportunities for growth and connection through the arts. We recognize that the key to community development ― and economic development ― hinges not just on artistic expression but on strategic planning, active involvement, and tailored solutions that resonate with each unique community.

Central to our approach is creative, strategic planning through collectively gathered insights, which lays the foundation for sustainable change. Our streamlined procedures ensure efficiency and effectiveness, enabling communities to turn ideas into action swiftly. Our comprehensive toolkits for plug-and-play arts initiatives facilitate easy adoption and customization in diverse settings. 

Through public speaking engagements and training programs, we equip creative communities with the skills to actualize and mobilize their arts and cultural collectives. These formalized groups foster a sustainable ecosystem where creativity is not just an outcome but a driving force for neighborhood development.
