Dear reader,

As of January 2012, the Bloustein Online Continuing Education Program, Professional Development Institute and The Leading Institute have been consolidated into Arts Build Communities (ABC). We continue to provide continuing education, planning and and other technical assistance to communities, and practical research. We continue to focus on all areas of planning and placemaking, but now we do it through the lens of creative placemaking -- an approach that connects community, cultural and economic development.

Please visit us at our new site: http://www.policy.rutgers.edu/abc

Thank you.

Director, Arts Build Communities
