We are in the process of developing a "Knowledge Center" - a resource bank that contains publications, working papers, research, success stories, and reports, etc. on arts related issues. Through this site we hope to promote those who are in this field and also provide information that may be beneficial for those who are doing research and may need to contact experts in social, economic, educational and creative (cultural and artistic) development area. If you are or your organization is interested in sharing your know-how please get in touch with us and let us post your documents (or create links). Thank you for your interest and cooperation.
