Erie Arts & Culture is pleased to welcome Tiffanie Page-Collazo as the Community Organizer for the New Horizons’ Initiative; an initiative funded through The Erie Community Foundation’s Shaping Tomorrow grant. She started with EAC in February of 2019. Tiffanie will oversee the New Horizons Initiative and will coordinate efforts amongst a diverse group of community partners in order to mobilize creative and cultural assets with the intent of solidifying strong emotional bonds between people and place. The plan calls to:
- Infuse arts and culture into libraries, public parks, and other community resources to provide neighborhood programming that ensures the benefits of arts and culture are more fully recognized, utilized, and valued.
- Make access to information about arts and culture experiences, programs, and events easy and available to everyone. • Integrate public art into community and neighborhood development and revitalization plans.
- Utilize cultural events as a platform to distribute services and information that are relevant to the cultural, economic, wellness, educational, and environmental needs of communities.
- Record, preserve, and share the culture and history of Erie, both past and present.
Several New Horizons projects have already begun and look to educate and exhort the community regarding Creative Placemaking.
