This week we moved our focus on Creative Placemaking from the greater community to school communities. We asked members of TLP to teach us about ways that they are engaging in creative placemaking in their schools. We heard 5 great stories!
A reminder that we using the following definition of Creative Placemaking:
Creative Placemaking is an evolving field of practice that intentionally leverages the power of the arts, culture and creativity to serve a community’s interest while driving a broader agenda for change, growth and transformation in a way that also builds character and quality of place. – Artscape
We heard 5 great stories that highlighted materials, methods, spaces and routines employed by teachers. Those stories are presented in this slideshow.
A few resources mentioned today include:
theater jells, contact paper, etc. for window art
neighborhood master plans
