​We are pleased to introduce you to this year's Placemaking Personalities! These inspired local and national thought leaders will deliver engaging talks that share their placemaking trials and triumphs and inspire you on your creative placemaking journey!

As a creative and a higher education professional, I am particularly excited about talking about creative placemaking and its role in talent attraction and retention during this year’s Summit. At the Michigan State University (MSU) College of Music we see this work as part of our mission—to help create a vibrant, dynamic arts scene for Greater Lansing residents through performances, arts education and arts engagement activities. 

Join us in welcoming Jun-Li Wang from Springboard for the Arts and Tru Pettigrew from Tru Access to our schedule!

The Arts Council of Greater Lansing is proud to be collaborating with the Lansing Regional Chamber of Commerce for the third year in a row to get the conversation going around creative placemaking leading up to the Summit. What does it take to be a #LansingPlacemaker?

Have questions? Consider attending the Pre-Summit Session

If you want to get the full Creative Placemaking Summit experience, it's good to know the basics before you get there! This year, we are offering a Pre-Summit Session to give you some "101" or basic information about the benefits and best practices of creative placemaking.
