The NEA Our Town Creative Placemaking Technical Assistance Program invites you to celebrate how arts and culture have transformed our communities, and imagine the future of creative placemaking. National leaders Marty Pottenger, Mark Valdez, and Scott Oshima will guide our conversation, and be joined by additional members of our Resource Team from across the country. Drawing on their experience in the field, they will offer insights on leveraging arts, culture, and creativity to shape community change efforts. Also, NEA Director of Design and Creative Placemaking Ben Stone will share some exciting Our Town program updates.

Imagine with us: We’ll take time to co-create in a collective activity, envisioning the future we want to see.

This session is for all who are interested in arts, culture, and community development from all backgrounds and experiences. Join us as we come together to celebrate and spark beautiful possibilities for our communities!
