Oklahoma, a State of Creativity
| June 09, 2009

Oklahoma is putting in all of it's effort to become a district of creativity. Their mission statement is "to establish Oklahoma as a world-renowned center of creativity and innovation in commerce, culture, and education." What a great way to not only gain attention for a city but to motivate residents of the state to love and be proud of where they're from.

Oklahoma is the only North American state recognized by The Creativity
World Forum as one of 12 Creative Districts worldwide, a distinction
sought by cities and regions around the world. Districts include
Baden-Wurttemberg, Flanders, Quebec, Scotland, Shanghai and others.


For me this is all new, I was never aware that there were 'creative' districts and am curious as to how one becomes recognized as a creative district, the requirements and how these districts came to be.
