本案例研究探讨了一个艺术组织在城市邻里振兴工作的中心，其贡献创造性的场所和包容性的社区建设。这项研究记录了创新的艺术实践，并探讨了它们对当地环境的意义，这是美国中南部地区一个未被充分研究的城市。它建立在研究团队作为教师，学生和学者与艺术组织合作的持续工作的基础上。它包括系统的参与观察，与利益相关者的访谈，以及对历史和当代媒体报道的回顾。我们发现，该组织及其实践提供了丰富的背景下，探索扩大社区意识，包括桥接社会资本和基于场所的框架。分析表明，该组织的有意艺术为基础的做法带来了社区和艺术的多重理解，通过创造性和社会摩擦的产生有意义的对话。这些做法说明了一种针对具体情况的策略，解决了社区多样性辩证法中的紧张关系（Townley等人，Am J Commun Psychol 47：69-85，2011）。
This case study examines an arts organization at the center of an urban neighborhood revitalization effort and its contributions to creative placemaking and inclusive community building. The study documents innovative arts practices and explores their meaning for a local context, an understudied city in the Mid-South region of the United States. It builds on the research team’s ongoing work as teachers, students, and scholars in partnership with the arts organization. It includes systematic participant observation, interviews with stakeholders, and a review of historical and contemporary media coverage. We found that the organization and its practices provided a rich context for exploring an expanded sense of community including bridging social capital and place-based frameworks. Analysis suggests that the organization’s intentional arts based practices bring multiple understandings of community and art into meaningful dialogue through the generation of creative and social friction. These practices illustrate one context-specific strategy addressing the tensions in a community–diversity dialectic (Townley et al. in Am J Commun Psychol 47:69–85, 2011).
