ASSESSING THE ARTS COMMUNITY: Mapping with GIS and Social Media Tools
Track: ArcGIS for Organizations
Authors: Gary Coutu

This project supported a strategic planning effort to understand how to best serve the arts community. The project collected data about art providers, studios, classes and locations in Coatesville and Philadelphia, PA. ArcGIS and phone apps were used by students to geocode and collect data in the field, using Twitter. Tweets were mapped in ArcGIS Online. Online maps and data were integrated into a community Facebook page. This information was used in planning and outreach.
