Prince George's County Cultural Arts Study - Arts and Connectivity

Please join us for a virtual community meeting Thursday, April 8th to engage stakeholders on the role of the arts and culture in aiding transportation connectivity for the Prince George’s County Cultural Art Study (PGCCAS).

Ensuring that different communities across the county are physically connected and accessible to each other plays a large part in residents' and visitors' feelings of safety and ease. Arts and culture play an important role in aiding with connectivity—making transportation corridors more inviting, safe, and accessible. Transportation networks in turn are ideal sites for creative projects, from art in subway stations to artistically designed crosswalks and manhole covers, to bus shelter designs. Pedestrian and cycling trails offer additional opportunities for creativity, including public art, landscape design, and wayfinding. Arts and culture can attract many more users of public transportation and trail routes. Art can also reduce barriers in transit stations, integrating creative wayfinding symbols to ease congestion and help direct passengers.

In Prince George’s County, we want to understand how art and culture can assist with the county’s connectivity needs. What public transportation areas are in greatest need of support from arts and cultural projects? What are current barriers and challenges to connectivity in Prince George’s County that can be addressed by arts and culture? What are the opportunities for arts and culture to improve connectivity in the county?
