A Creative District is a way to identify, promote and grow the creative people, products, and places of an area.
Creative districts become destinations for both locals and visitors, contribute to local economies, and help to celebrate and retain the unique characteristics that, along with our stunning natural environment, define our region.
The Arts and Humanities Council is collaborating with the Idaho Commission on the Arts, the City of McCall, and other organizations to help pioneer the first creative district in Idaho.
If you are what we call a Creative~ a brewer, designer, editor, baker, performer, quilter... If artistry, crafting, or making describe what you do~ for a living, for a hobby, for love... If you inhabit a studio, shop, restaurant, or any creative space...
What we do with the district is up to us. Currently we are talking about collaborations across the region, a local arts tour, and how to create and support creative venues.
First, get yourself and/or your location counted.
Also help spread the word. Share the profile inventory with friends, neighbors,
and favorite local creatives.
