Cultural Nexus, a comprehensive cultural master plan for the City of Pasadena was developed in conjunction with the Cultural and Planning Group.

In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, we established Transforma to expand opportunities for artists and other creative practitioners to use their skills in the rebuilding of New Orleans. Over the course of five years, Transforma strategically supported artists working in public with direct financial assistance, technical assistance, and networking opportunities. The project’s focus was on the role of artists, the arts, and culture in addressing the social and political needs that confront our society.

Glow, Santa Monica’s signature cultural event, became an overnight sensation in 2008, and found an equal number of impassioned followers in 2010 and 2013. An all-night cultural experience, Glow features original commissions by artists that re-imagine Santa Monica Beach as a playground for thoughtful and participatory temporary artworks. The mix of art, technology and an amazing natural setting is remarkable—and of course given the scale of the event, takes an entire City to produce.

The plan presents a comprehensive plan for the role of the arts and culture can play in a new park in Midtown Houston, including both permanent commissions and ongoing programming. Cusick Consulting is also assisting in the implementation of the plan.

A comprehensive set of policy and programming recommendations developed for the California Arts Council to implement the State’s Cultural Districts legislation adopted in 2015. The program was implemented per the report, and the initial cohort of California Cultural Districts were selected in July 2017.

Cusick Consulting collaborated with Barbara Goldstein and Associates to assess the City of Fort Worth’s public art program and develop a comprehensive vision and recommendations for the next fifteen years. The plan is an update to the one originally developed by the same team in 2003.
