ELGL CREATIVE COMMUNITY COHORT

MODULE 1 PODBLOG

What is creative placemaking? What do creative placemaking projects look, feel and sound like? Why are communities and cities interested in this work? Is there a magic formula? In this first PodBlog episode, Abbey Judd talks with Dr. Lynn Osgood, Executive Director of Civic Arts, to learn from her experience and perspective in the field.
