Lions & Rabbits focuses on creative community development through strategy, transformative placemaking, and workforce development. Our vision is a world where creative innovation is at the forefront of community and economic development. Our Pillars: - Creativity: Embrace and celebrate creativity in all forms, valuing artistic expression as a powerful means of communication and connection. - Innovation: Embrace innovative approaches in arts, strategy, and public placemaking, seeking new ways to make a positive impact on the community. - Mobilization: Prioritize the value of mobilization, emphasizing the proactive engagement and activation of resources, networks, and communities to achieve the organization's mission and goals. - Engagement: Prioritize active involvement with the community, listening to their needs and collaborating to enrich public spaces and cultural experiences. What We Do: We create paid job opportunities through public art projects to support artists’ freelance careers, professional development, and portfolio expansion. After Dark is an annual summer series of fun, engaging, and community-building fundraising events that directly support artist job opportunities. After Dark events actively support local artists & vendors and bring them closer to the community through market-style events with entertainment for all ages. Lastly, we work in communities for Arts development. This program is working to advance arts-driven communities to create additional resources for local artists and establish supportive cities for the arts! Care to work alongside us?
