The Purpose
The purpose of the course was to learn about the use and composition of Overlay Districts as used in communities throughout the United States and the increasingly common establishment of Art Districts. It is not a common fact that the city of Fredericksburg, VA has an existing arts district because it is not sufficiently publicized, and there are design and content issues with the current art-related websites. The goal of the course was to expand the district in size and popularity by creating one comprehensive website and developing new arts initiatives that will increase tourism and beautify the city.
