As a CreativeGround partner organization, you have direct access to site data and approval of roster designations (as applicable), and there are many ways to distribute information about CreativeGround to your constituents. What follows is a nonexclusive list of tools and resources to help you use CreativeGround as a partner, as well as links to the Promo Toolkit, which guides you on all the ways you can promote CreativeGround and help support and make visible the New England creative economy in your state, town, and community.
Please email creativeground@nefa.org as you discover new ways to share this information or have questions about how to maximize use of the current tools; the CreativeGround team can share these innovations with you and your colleagues to continually enhance how we celebrate the creative economy of New England.
