ABOUT:  Lincoln Park Coast Cultural District, Inc.
The Lincoln Park Coast Cultural District, Inc. (LPCCD) is a non-profit organization actively engaged in the practice of economic development leveraging Creative Placemaking through the lens of diversity, equity, inclusion, social justice and community advocacy.  Its mission to plan, design and develop a comprehensive arts and cultural district in the Lincoln Park neighborhood of downtown Newark.  Once dominated by dilapidated buildings and vacant lots, the neighborhood is being transformed through LPCCD’s efforts into a “sustainable” arts and cultural district. This redevelopment includes “green” mixed-income housing, arts and culture programming and historic preservation projects.  LPCCD has completed more than 100 units of housing, and has provided new housing and employment opportunities for a diverse population.  LPCCD’s main arts & culture programs are the annual Lincoln Park Music Festival, Lincoln Park Music Speaks citywide humanities initiative, the Lincoln Park Jazzy Soul music series and the new Lincoln Park Sustainable Living Community Podcast.  We’ve reached nearly 800,000 people through the music, arts, culture over nearly 20 years.
