State and city governments are
recognizing the importance of music and entertainment to
development and revitalization of neighborhoods and
districts. Music and entertainment venues are often
perceived to be associated with negative impacts on public
safety and quality of life. Further, music and other
entertainment are often influenced by cultural and
generational stereotyping. The musical styles that
venue operators choose to present can sometimes prompt a
stereotype perception, creating what amounts to music
profiling by the community and law enforcement.
A growing network of diverse, critical
thinkers from government music commissions and agencies is
forming to share creative ideas that successfully balance
community concerns with enhanced opportunities for music and
entertainment. |
