Making Life Better Through Creative Placemaking

According to psychologists, all people have a similar set of needs to make their lives happy. In this webinar, learn how creative placemaking can help directly address most human needs, and indirectly support others.

Don’t know much about creative placemaking? No problem. This webinar will introduce you to this concept, which is about leveraging the power of arts and culture to address social issues in communities.

About the speaker: Leonardo Vazquez, AICP/PP, is the Executive Director of the Northern New Jersey Community Foundation. Prior to joining the Foundation in 2023, he helped build the emerging field of creative placemaking through conferences, educational programs, thought leadership, and community planning. His work has engaged and inspired thousands of artists, urban planners, community development professionals and more.

The event is free, but we request a $20 donation. This will  to help support scholarships for artists to participate in the New Jersey Creative Communities Conference

You can find the link to the webinar in your thank you email.
