II.G. Thinking Regionally Madison recognizes that its creative context is regional, rather than municipal. Madison Cultural Plan 2011, commissioned by the Madison Arts Commission, is of necessity focused on the city itself. However, as Madison’s cultural planning process has moved forward, other interested citizens working under the name Imagine and hosted by Edenfred, convened a series of discussions around the question of imagining the cultural ecology of the capital region. Their conversations and public meetings reached from Shake Rag Alley in Mineral Point to Lake Mills with stops in Madison, Spring Green, Prairie du Sac, Portage, Shullsburg, Stoughton, and Janesville. The aspirations gathered in these meetings often parallel those discovered in Madison’s cultural planning process. They seek to “organize, collect, act,” to inventory creative assets and link them to one another and to a broader group of resources and opportunities, to provide voice for creative issues, to fold all residents into a continuous creative conversation, and to create “a slow moving train that allows new people to jump on board.” Their ideas bind together the region’s food production and its creative pleasures, its schools and learning centers, and its environmental and arts programs, also giving importance to diversity and inclusiveness. They echo Madison’s needs for affordable spaces for creative work to be done, for common gathering spots where creative people can come together for collegiality, for programs that reach out to under-served areas, and for closer ties between the arts and commerce. In addition, there has been some early exploration of the need for cultural planning at the county level, perhaps via expansion of the Dane County Comprehensive Plan, to include creative sector issues. Therefore, Madison’s cultural plan must shape a starting point that positions the community to take its place in a larger, regional creative commons to come. Madison Cultural Plan Introduction and Overview 18
This plan is focused around six broad strategic goals. GOALS: II.H. Aspirations and Goals Madison aspires to forge connections within its creative sector and to link that sector with consumers; to cultivate people and institutions that will be the voices and champions for the field; to create a community identity that acknowledges Madison’s historic and present reliance on creative invention; to preserve and enhance the unique and powerful aspects of place in terms of history and the natural and built environments; and to forge sustainable conditions for creative work, conditions that nurture human capital, provide adequate facilities, protect the natural environment and are supported by a coherent funding system. In pursuit of these aspirations, this plan is focused around six broad strategic goals: A. POSITION MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT FOR LEADERSHIP IN THE CREATIVE SECTOR B. CREATE A NEXUS FOR SUSTAINABLE LOCAL AND REGIONAL CREATIVE SECTOR DEVELOPMENT C. STRENGTHEN PROGRAMS THAT SERVE THE BROADEST POSSIBLE AUDIENCE D. ENGAGE CREATIVE SECTOR RESOURCES IN DEFINING PLACE AND IDENTITY E. STRENGTHEN POLICY AND PRACTICE AROUND CREATIVE SECTOR FACILITIES UTILIZATION AND DEVELOPMENT F. CREATE A COHERENT FUNDING SYSTEM FOR CREATIVE SECTOR DEVELOPMENT As a way of grounding the planning process, the Madison Cultural Plan Steering Committee articulated a vision of Madison’s future as a center for innovation and creativity in the arts, sciences, and history.
