National leader in creative community building to join Cultural Economic Development Studio

Tom Borrup will be with ABC's  Cultural Economic Development Studio course the week of September 27 to October 3.  Learners in the course will have a week to ask questions and share ideas with Tom. 

Tom Borrup
He is author of the influential book The Creative Community Builder's Handbook and Principal of Creative Community Builders in Minneapolis. Tom is an expert in strategic planning, community transformation, partnership building and program evaluation.

Cultural Economic Development Studio is an online BOCEP Deep Learning course that can help participants:
  • Build practical skills for arts-based economic development.
  • Better influence officials, community leaders and developers by showing them how the arts can strengthen their community's economy.
  • Promote greater support for the arts among businesspeople.
  • Understand better the connection between sustainable economic development and the arts.
In this course, you learn by doing:  Learners will explore the feasibility of making Somerville, NJ an arts destination.  You'll be surprised at how much you can learn -- and do -- in a BOCEP Deep Learning course.

The course is convenient and interactive.  It is completely online and there are no required meetings.  But you can share ideas and ask questions of a variety of urban planners and cultural professionals, such as Tom.

The course runs from now through October 30.  Registration ends September 29. 

Course fee is $295, and scholarships of $50 are still available. Use promotion code BGBBS.

This class is part of a set of courses that you can take to get a Bloustein Professional Certificate in Cultural Planning and Development.

Cultural Economic Development Studio is produced by Arts Build Communities in partnership with the Bloustein Online Continuing Education Program.  Both initiatives are produced by the Professional Development Institute of Rutgers University's Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy.
