Placemaking Week 2024

PLEASE NOTE: You selected your Mobile Workshop when you registered for the conference. You cannot change your Mobile Workshop, or select one here on Sched. Specific information and instructions will be emailed in May to those signed up for each workshop.

Note: This workshop will include art making. Participatory public art empowers community members to not only take part in transforming their public spaces, but creates long-lasting connections and ownership to these civic assets. Join Graham Projects & Sol Raya Public Space, who specialize in participatory projects in the service of pedestrians and places, for this on-site workshop, where participants will learn about pavement and upright muraling techniques, see technical demonstrations, and able to help put their hands to the work to contribute to vibrant installations on Boone Street in the East Baltimore Midway Community.
