Boise State University will receive a National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) Research Lab award of $125,000. This grant will support the Place, Arts and Cultural Systems Lab to study belonging in U.S. arts and cultural districts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This grant is one of four new research labs the National Endowment for the Arts is supporting that fund transdisciplinary research teams grounded in the social and behavioral sciences, yielding empirical insights about the arts for the benefit of arts and non-arts sectors alike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Place, Arts and Cultural Systems Lab investigates how arts and cultural districts support belonging using a national survey and case studies in the Intermountain West and Industrial Midwest. Arts and cultural districts are widespread: it is important to understand barriers to and best practices for making those districts inclusive, equitable, and drivers of economic and social innovation<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe National Endowment for the Arts is proud to support this Research Lab from Boise State University, part of the NEA\u2019s investment in exploring the value and impact of the arts,\u201d said NEA Director of Research and Analysis Sunil Iyengar. \u201cThe NEA\u2019s Research Labs are an important component of our agency\u2019s goal of understanding the factors, conditions and characteristics of our country\u2019s arts ecosystem and the many ways the arts can impact other areas of American life.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re thrilled to receive this highly competitive award to accelerate our research in the School of Public Service and the School of the Arts in the College of Arts and Sciences,\u201d Director of the School of Arts and principal investigator, Amanda Ashley, said. \u201cWe\u2019re particularly excited to have an excellent set of research and community partners at the local, regional and national level.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences and co-principal investigator Leslie Durham, noted, \u201cOur NEA Lab is an outgrowth of a multi-year, interdisciplinary and inter-institutional collaboration catalyzed by Boise State\u2019s Division of Research and Economic Development. I\u2019m grateful for that past support and absolutely delighted and honored that the NEA is funding the new work of the lab.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Lab will both learn from and serve district organizations and neighbors by creating a typology and national public database of arts and cultural districts characteristics; using the database to analyze patterns; identifying good practices for different district types, geographies and capacities; and developing and sharing a flexible arts and cultural district toolkit for communities with a range of resources and needs. Boise State University is partnering with Cleveland State University, University of Arizona and Wayne State University on this research collaboration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
