El Paso Downtown Pathways Project
The Downtown Pathways project in El Paso is a great example of how the arts can serve multiple needs and goals within a project. By aligning multiple municipal opportunities, the Pathways project was able to use the arts to transform a public space, enhance pedestrian connectivity, improve public safety, and create a cultural asset downtown.
St. Elizabeth Hospital Redevelopment
Working with artists to create opportunities for resident storytelling has helped Fifth Ward Community Redevelopment Corporation to hold up local histories in their community development work. These stories from the past have helped their redevelopment of a local hospital to be perceived as both a cultural asset from the past and a neighborhood asset for the future.
