The Community Cultural Inventory (CCI) is a tool to help towns, cities and counties gather information about cultural resources that are currently available in the community and about future opportunities. Trained consultants work with community leaders to determine the most effective plan in each individual case. Previous CCIs have collected information through surveys and/or public meetings with artists, arts organizations, government officials, business leaders, educators and other interested citizens. At the end of the project, the consultant produces a detailed written report that summarizes the information collected and provides recommendations for next steps. CCIs throughout Arizona have been the catalyst to create a community cultural plan or an effective local arts agency. Any government entity or non-profit organization that is prepared to lead the CCI process may apply to the Commission for support.
