This project explores how these communities of color can deploy arts and property rights-informed strategies to hold onto their place in a changing city. In partnership with USC’s Spatial Analysis LAB (USC SLAB) and funded by the Wallace Foundation, we want to discover and share insights on how we safeguard the cultural places and spaces of our various communities. This research seeks to provide evidence-based arguments for a new property paradigm that supports the arts, offers private property owners tools to join the effort and opens dialogue surrounding the role government regulation and policy can play in creating synergistic community-based arts and culture.
