Adding to Your Community Engagement Toolkit with Creative Placemaking
Sean King
Principle, Aspire Consulting Group
Allentown, PA


Over the past 5 years, the Cultural Coalition of Allentown has introduced the concepts of creative placemaking and the creative economy to the business, government and artistic leaders of the region and has grown from a budget of $0 to potentially $350,000 in 2020 projects. The session will take attendees through the highs and lows of educating your community on the elements of the creative economy to build a sustainable implementation strategy incorporating festivals, events and other projects. Session participants will learn tips and techniques needed to build a community-wide program including issues such as Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Accessibility, Funding / Financial impacts from Creative Placemaking Initiatives, Economic development, and Youth opportunities.
