Art Places. Culture Spaces. Creative Economy.
In its best applications, cultural placemaking creates a virtuous cycle.
Culture brings people together.
People bring energy to places.
Places generate economic and civic vitality.
And that vitality creates new opportunities:
for cultural and creative industries to thrive and be celebrated
for community belonging, identity building and intercultural exchange
for entrepreneurs, innovators and emerging voices to move us collectively forward
Cities that understand this relationship do more than build infrastructure.
They build distinction and destination.
My work is dedicated to helping cities and communities create the conditions where culture can take root in public space—and where public space, in turn, can sustain the cultural life of a city.
