Creative Placemaking Leadership Summit can help you become a more artful planner
For urban planners, creative placemaking can be more than just adding fun arts and cultural projects into their work. Creative placemaking can help us work more effectively in diverse communities and deal with uncertainty.
Want to learn how? Please join us at the 2022 Northeast & Mid-Atlantic Creative Placemaking Leadership Summit, April 18-22, online and in Schenectady.
Build your skills in workshops and charrette-type sessions called Strategy Labs at sites in and around Schenectady. Connect with artists, arts administrators, community economic development professionals, cultural tourism professionals, placemakers and others. Learn about interesting and innovative work and ideas. Find a community of planners and placemakers who believe in the power of local arts and cultural activities to enhance places and communities. All of the online sessions will be recorded, so you can watch them at your convenience.
What do you hope the Summit will cover? Share your thoughts on topics, and even help shape the Summit by joining the event’s Working Group. The Working Group is meeting November 30, from 2-3:30 pm, to select themes and topics for the Summit.
