An ambitious program to develop partnerships between the University of Oregon (UO) and small-to mid-sized Oregon cities forms the backdrop for a critical discussion of ways in which graduate students from one UO degree program develop community-engaged projects. Across two such projects, the authors explore how approaches to arts and culture participation can inform ideas of sustainability and community development by offering opportunities for neighborhoods to engage in self-definition through the process of cultural mapping. The authors contend that this process also facilitates reciprocal communication between community members and civic institutions, especially in situations where such communication has been absent historically. Ultimately, this paper proposes that the model for partnerships and experiential work outlined illustrates potential for sustaining graduate education, communities, and collaborative infrastructure
