Why arts and culture matter in the Gateway Neighborhood
Neighborhood revitalization is not only about housing and services. It’s also about building community connection, pride, and visibility.
Arts and cultural events help create positive activity in public spaces, strengthen relationships among neighbors, and support a neighborhood where people want to live, gather, and invest.

Arts, Culture & Community Life is part of PARTNER’s broader Gateway Neighborhood strategy. Together with housing stability programs, education and workforce pathways, wellness access, and resident engagement, these efforts support long-term neighborhood strength and quality of life.
