Alway Remember Your Mission!

OUR MISSION TO TRANSFORM DOWNTOWN ARLINGTON�
Cities are complex systems. They change. They grow. They have unique challenges. The vision for Create Arlington is inherent in its name. We want to be part of the ever-changing process to create a better Arlington. How is our organization positioned to make this vision a reality? �
“CREATE ARLINGTON ENABLES PEOPLE . . .”
�If you wanted to distill the Create Arlington mission into four words, look no further. Create Arlington enables people. We believe cities are made great when the people within the city do great things. Everyone benefits when people are given the necessary resources. Create Arlington provides workspace, collaborative partnerships, training opportunities, and community events that targets the people most interesting in making an impact.�
“. . . TO PURSUE THEIR PASSIONS . . .”
�Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm (Ralph Waldo Emerson). To be effective, we don’t mandate projects from a committee. Instead, we listen to our people. We encourage them to pursue the projects that move them. We believe trusting people to do what they do best yields the greatest results. No other business incubator in North Texas works as hard to send our members out from our location, so they might continue to grow. �
“. . . BY FOSTERING A CREATIVE, ENTREPRENEURIAL COMMUNITY . . .”
�The data is clear. Cities need the arts, if they hope to compete when corporations relocate, and people choose where they want to live. Until recently, we believed that only the largest cities had the human capital to compete. This is simply not true. Creative entrepreneurs are looking for affordable, engaging neighborhoods where they feel they have a voice. We believe Downtown Arlington is an ideal setting for artists and entrepreneurs.�
“. . . WITHIN AN OPEN, THRIVING SETTING.”
�If there is one thing that art and business have in common, it’s the need for a community that supports innovation and creativity, willing to take risks and learn from its efforts. We believe that as Create Arlington grows, Downtown Arlington will thrive as well. It’s a simple formula. With every art festival, gallery opening, literary event, and training workshop we host, we’re engaging with thousands throughout North Texas—rebranding Downtown Arlington as a uniquely desirable, valuable place to live and work and play.
