Description

Creative placemaking integrates arts, culture and creativity to serve a community’s interest while facilitating a space and platform for freedom, change, conversation and transformation to perpetuate quality of place.

This year, Arts Council of Greater Lansing and partners are unfolding a hybrid event that reimagines connection in the creative space while innovatively prioritizing the health and safety of our community. The event features sessions, panel discussions, keynote addresses, entertainment, networking opportunities and more, while providing a platform for creative discussions and ideas to take hold, gain footing and find life beyond the Summit. The event will display innovative, thought-provoking speakers, electrifying topics, entertainment and creativity and some surprises for sure. 

The Creative Placemaking Summit dedicates itself to bringing area residents, creatives, public officials, urban planners, developers, arts and cultural professionals and others together to foster collaboration, share ideas, inspire projects, instill motivation and encourage action. The Summit is committed to including the voices of all residents so community, neighborhood and city enhancements reflect the diversity of creative placemaking professionals and work, and instill a strong sense of local ownership and pride.
