The Power of Art in Placemaking
Art has the power to transform spaces, spark conversations, and foster connections. On May 20th, join us for an evening that explores creative placemaking and the vital role it plays in shaping urban environments, enhancing community life, and offering new opportunities for developers and artists alike. Often cut from budgets or an afterthought, public art is actually a secret weapon to success! Our panelists will demystify the process, share best practices in facilitating a successful project, and discuss the importance of community engagement and intentional storytelling.
This event is for the commercial real estate community, artists, art lovers, and those interested in enhancing the world around them through the arts.
