Cultural Policy Action Lab
JUNE 2022
Cultural Policy Action Lab (CPAL) is a national learning series and community of practice for arts and culture leaders in the public sector. It serves to expand knowledge and applied practice in advancing racial justice through arts and culture policy transformation. The series examines common policy frameworks deployed in the public sector such as grantmaking, public art, placemaking, and arts education, and imagines how we might reshape the underlying policies and policy application for more just outcomes for communities.
