About

APPROACH

Justice + Joy is a purpose-driven arts and culture strategy consultancy.

Our team is experienced in community-centered arts and culture work from the local to the national level, including bringing arts and culture strategies into the public sector. Justice + Joy facilitates cross-sector collaboration amongst urban planning teams, government agencies, designers, community engagement specialists, artists and other sector leaders, to integrate traditionally siloed methods in order to create more just and joyful civic processes and places. 

 

We’ve worked with government agencies like Atlanta Regional Commission, San Francisco Arts Commission, Mariposa County, CA, City of Tempe, AZ, City of Alameda, CA, City of Somerville, MA, and the City of Sacramento on building arts and culture capacities, from monuments and memorials policies to cultural plans to artist residencies in government. We’ve partnered with policy, advocacy and public sector organizations like Smart Growth America, Transportation for America, NeighborWorks America, Great Rivers Greenway, National Alliance of Community Economic Development Associations, Engaging Local Government Leaders, PolicyLink, International City/County Management Association, and Stoss Landscape Urbanism to integrate arts and culture into advancing public sector solutions, like an arts and culture-approach to designing a greenway, or developing a coaching program to train executives in creative community development. We also work closely with arts organizations on strategy, training and DEI development, like National Arts Strategies, Grantmakers in the Arts, Creative Arkansas Community Hub & Exchange, Regional Arts Commission of St. Louis, Kranzberg Arts Foundation, Forecast Public Art and more.
