Arts!Longview is the nonprofit organization that leads Longview’s state-designated Cultural District, championing local artists, producing arts and cultural events, supporting public art installations, and growing the creative economy.
In 2019, Arts!Longview set out to earn a Cultural District designation from the State of Texas, a status recognizing Longview’s concentration of arts and cultural assets and unlocking opportunities to grow the creative economy. Media Quest produced a five-minute documentary-style video for Arts!Longview to include with its official application to the state, telling the story of Longview’s arts community, local artists, and cultural spaces.
Partnership Highlights
Documentary-Style Video Production
Media Quest produced a five-minute documentary-style video capturing the heart of Longview’s growing arts and culture scene, from its public art and creative spaces to the artists who bring them to life. The video was submitted alongside Arts!Longview’s application to the State of Texas.
Client Relationship
“We believe deeply in local artists, and we’ve often benefited from working with local talent and designers across our projects. Helping tell Longview’s story, and helping earn recognition for its arts community, was something we were honored to be part of.”
— Joe Fuentes, Owner, Media Quest
Results
Cultural District Designation Achieved: On September 5, 2019, the State of Texas officially designated Longview's Cultural District, a milestone Arts!Longview's application, supported by Media Quest's video, helped achieve.
Lasting Community Impact: The Cultural District designation has since supported Arts!Longview's continued mission, including its public art program, ArtWalk events, and access to state grant funding for the community.
Conclusion
Media Quest was proud to play a role in this milestone moment for Longview’s arts community. What began as a five-minute film in 2019 helped secure a designation that continues to support local artists, public art, and cultural programming across the city today.
