The Citizens’ Institute on Rural Design TM , a leadership initiative of the National Endowment for the Arts, has issued a request for proposals inviting communities to apply for design assistance. The CIRD program provides rural communities and small towns in all regions of the country the opportunity to address economic vitality and quality of life challenges by employing design solutions. CIRD convenes workshops with design professionals, local leaders, community organizations, and residents to create a plan for tackling issues around three topic areas—multimodal transportation, healthy living by design, and main street revitalization.
Learn more on a January 25 webinar with CIRD staff from the NEA and Project for Public Spaces. You’ll learn about the application process, eligibility requirements, and selection criteria.
