Turning this region’s artistic talent into real economic and civic power

from The Scoot Show with Scoot

New Orleans loves to call itself a creative city, but are we really investing in the people who make that true? Enter The Creative Industries Assembly, a major new effort to turn this region’s artistic talent into real economic and civic power, all unfolding inside the old Ford Assembly Plant in Arabi, now reimagined as a hub for culture, ideas, and possibility. Jeanne Nathan, Executive Director at Creative Alliance of New Orleans, joins Ian Hoch to talk about it.
