On October 17th and 18th I had the pleasure of attending Plan NH’s annual conference, which focused on Placemaking. I was invited to lead the closing session, which was a hands-on activity to explore personalities and processes of creative placemaking. Leading up to the closing I had an incredible learning experience with some high-powered movers & shakers in the creative placemaking world - Leo Vazquez, the Executive Director of the National Consortium for Creative Placemaking; Alexander Goloub, a dynamic artist who leads projects that transform communities and spaces; and Ben Stone, the Director of Arts and Culture at Smart Growth America.
