ArtPlace America is a nonprofit organization based in Brooklyn, New York, formed as a ten-year collaboration among foundations, federal agencies, and financial institutions to position arts and culture as a core element of comprehensive community planning and development. Its work centers on creative placemaking, where art is integrated into place-based strategies to strengthen communities' social, physical, and economic fabric. The approach places arts and culture alongside housing and transportation, with planning and investment viewed as shared responsibilities for building healthy, locally informed communities. The organization collaborates with artists, arts organizations, and cultural activity to bring creative placemaking into community planning and development and to support leadership development and knowledge-building through its programs. In early 2021, ArtPlace America partnered with PolicyLink to publish work related to its Community Development Investments program, illustrating its ongoing multi-sector collaboration.
