    Help Shape Boston's Creative Community

    Boston Creates Logo

    Boston Creates, Boston's cultural planning process, draws from a theoretical framework of creative capital, developed by WolfBrown.  Creative capital is based on the idea that creativity of residents and creative culture of the city are important, intangible assets, creating a culturally vibrant and inclusive community.

    Cities with high levels of creative capital encourage, reward and integrate imaginative thinking into all aspects of community life.  Help understand the creative capital of Boston and create a plan that will prioritize, coordinate, and align public and private resources to strengthen this creative capital over the long term.

    You can help by taking an online survey available in English and Spanish.
