Using CreativeGround as Your Community’s Cultural Directory

Having a community cultural directory is a great way to demonstrate to present and future residents, city officials, local organizations, artists, and others the scope of what is happening in your creative community. However, creating a local cultural directory for your town or region can be very expensive and time-consuming. In this webinar, users will learn how to customize CreativeGround and use it as a local cultural directory and will see examples of other communities currently doing the same.
