Colleagues,

A non-profit mapping organization, PolicyMap, created this map of Philadelphia cultural sites, including murals, public art, museums. They are based in Philly, which is why they did this map. I hope some of you will find it of interest.

Much of PolicyMap content is free, but there is also a subscription model which includes additional data and analytics.

Best wishes,

Amy

Hi Amy,

Here is the link to the CultureBlocks tool : http://www.cultureblocks.com/wordpress/

“CultureBlocks is a free mapping tool that supports people making decisions about place and creativity in Philadelphia”. Under the partners tab, you will see a bit about our parent TRF, The Reinvestment Fund, and a link to PolicyMap. The Explore, Profile and Match are the 3 mapping capabilities(tools) that PolicyMap created. Please do share with all of your Arts Librarian Colleagues.

You can see examples of some of our other maps in the Google Maps Gallery: https://maps.google.com/gallery/publisher?pub=PolicyMap&hl=en

Finally, I thought you might be interested in some recent media coverage about PolicyMap:
