The Big Idea
The Matthews Opera House Society and Art Center wants to build a new community outreach model through its Art Central initiative. A cohort of Spearfish advocates, artists and residents hope to identify how the arts and creative problem solving techniques can be incorporated into city development plans. Based on what the group finds, city planners and leaders could use this opportunity to build truly inclusive communities.
