Collaborative Branding for Downtown Renewal: Creative Corridor & Connections (Communuity Arts Initiative/District)
Help position Muncie’s Creative Corridor as the community’s arts district and equip partners to claim, promote, and participate in it.
Muncie’s Creative Corridor is emerging as an arts district with strong community momentum, a connected network of arts and cultural assets, visible anchor institutions, and active public, private and philanthropic investment. What it needs now is a unifying identity, shared brand, campaign strategy, and partner adoption plan that help the community recognize, promote, and experience the district as a connection destination for arts, culture, creativity, and civic life. This is an opportunity to build a place-based brand that is both community-rooted and regionally impactful.
