The next Creative Placemaking Leadership Summit will be
Friday, March 18, from 9 am to 4 pm at Rutgers University – Newark in New
Jersey. The daylong conference will explore how creative placemaking can build both
social and financial equity in communities.
The Creative Placemaking Leadership Summit brings together
arts administrators, artists, public officials, urban planners and others
interested in making communities better through arts and culture. It is a fun and inspiring daylong conference
that offers participants many opportunities to learn about – and share their
expertise – in the fast-growing field of creative placemaking. In 2014, more than 250 people attended. We expect more in 2016.
Jamie Bennett, Executive Director, ArtPlace America will be
the keynote speaker. Other confirmed
speakers include Tom Dallessio, Publisher, Next City; Nancy Cantor, Chancellor,
Rutgers-University Newark; and Ommeed Sathe, Vice President – Impact
Investments, Prudential Financial.

The program is being developed, but we anticipate having
sessions tailored to arts and arts administrators, developers and other members
of the development community, and public officials and professionals involved
in community and economic development.
Sustainable Jersey actions connected to arts and
culture, incentivizing developers, and creative financing strategies to support
arts and culture.
We are also planning at least one mobile workshop to an arts
facility in North Jersey.
We will be announcing speakers and sessions soon. Sponsorships are available and appreciated.
