Organizations Filed Purposes: THE CENTER FOR PERFORMANCE AND CIVIC PRACTICE (CPCP)IS A NATIONAL RESOURCE FOR ARTISTS AND COMMUNITIES WORKING TOGETHER TO BUILD CIVIC HEALTH, EQUITY AND CAPACITY. CPCP DEFINES CIVIC PRACTICE AS ARTS-BASED PARTNERSHIP WORK THAT IS DEVELOPED IN SERVICE TO THE NEEDS OF A PARTNER ORGANIZATION OR AGENCY THAT DOES NOT HAVE AN ARTS-CENTERED MISSION. ARTISTS ENGAGE IN THIS WORK WITH REGULARITY, BUT THE WORK ISN'T ALWAYS VISIBLE - NOT WITH LARGER COMMUNITY CONVERSATIONS, AND NOT WITHIN ARTISTIC DISCIPLINES THEMSELVES. THERE ISN'T A SHARED VOCABULARY, AND ARTISTS AND COMMUNITIES CAN END UP WORKING IN ISOLATION, OFTEN WITHOUT ACCESS TO NETWORKS OF SUPPORT AND OPPORTUNITIES TO DEVELOP THEIR OWN PRACTICE.
