The Town of Clarkdale is home to a community of artists and creatives who host an annual art show. In order to cultivate a cohesive arts community, Clarkdale is considering the development of an arts incubator to provide physical and/or social infrastructure to support local artists. Graduate students from the School of Public Affairs will research peer community arts incubators to recommend entrepreneurship programming, recommend how to leverage an arts incubator for placemaking and historic preservation, and research grants and other opportunities for how to fund an arts incubator in Clarkdale.
