Community Engagement

$375.00

As public artists we value the process of community engagement, with the belief that neighbor-informed community development comes from relationship building, story sharing, and investment of resources. Every neighborhood has artists, creatives, activists, families, and young people, who hold community history, knowledge, and expertise on the priorities, concerns, strengths, and challenges of the area. We approach community engagement with a commitment to flexibility, discovery, and curiosity with the goal to create platforms for community participation in a design process.  We focus on a process-based approach that requires commitment from partnering organizations; prioritizing responses to neighbors’ needs and interests, rather than pre-determining the outcome. We do this in a warm, welcoming, and fluid way through creation of public programs, events and arts based workshops.
