We Maximize Impact Through Creative Placemaking & Public Art.

Creative Placemaking & Public Art Consultants

With so much pressure on cities and developers to build, reimagine and protect assets that will generate long-term value, strategies for public & private realms today must deliver on many fronts.

But the most important thing is to build a physical and emotional connection between the community and the places they share.

Research shows creative placemaking gives a place its own unique identity, creates more meaningful interactions and sense of belonging, and generates long-term value for communities, developers and cities. Maximizing value starts with creative placemaking.
