Arts + Place

 

creative placemaking: the intentional integration of arts, culture, and community-engaged design strategies into the process of equitable community planning and development.* ArtPlace America

 

Our practice of creative placemaking is rooted in our time spent learning from some of the most innovative thinkers in this field of work. Through a collaboration with ArtPlace America, we came to know this practice through this specific definition:
