ELGL CREATIVE COMMUNITY COHORT

MODULE 3 PODBLOG

How do I start a creative placemaking project? How does a project come together? What do artists and local government staff both bring to the table? In the third episode of the series, Abbey Judd talks with Dr. Lynn Osgood about the nuts and bolts of how a creative placemaking project actually comes together. They discuss a case study in Willowbrook, CA that successfully merges what local government is great at - managing large projects and collecting critical data, with what artists are great at - building relationships and working with uncertainty.
