Coalitions
In recent years, TACDC has begun concentrating its efforts on a regional level, helping to bring together groups across the state to share best practices and to create a stronger, more unified voice in community developement.
Texas Creative Placemaking Initiative
TXCPI is an emerging network of community development practitioners, artists, and others who want to further inclusive development. Join us in advancing creative placemaking / placekeeping in Texas. TXCPI is a collaborative effort guided by Texas placemakers. It is steered in collaboration by TACDC, Texans for the Arts, and Civic Arts. Leaning on our collective knowledge of how community development, the arts, and public engagement work in Texas, our three organizations will work to connect you to the networks, resources, and action you need to continue doing your work well.
