SEE YOUR FUTURE, BE YOUR FUTURE >>>

Artists have integrated site-specific artwork into architecture for centuries, commissioned by churches, cities, and patrons, to add a visual complement to their buildings. Parallel to this history, street art has blossomed and thrived, with artists making their mark on decaying and crumbling walls.

Attracted to areas of undeveloped possibility, artists have pioneered the rejuvenation of communities. 

In Tacoma, Local Life and Go Local are partnering together to host City of Neighborhoods, a daylong conference about nurturing strong, identifiable neighborhoods in Tacoma (and beyond). The organizations will be holding a convening meeting at 7 p.m. Monday, March 19. If you are interested in art on a neighborhood level, or interested in neighborhoods on an art level, hit up Local Life leader Justin Mayfield (25Trees, Downtown Block Party, etc.) at justin@locallifetacoma.org for the haps.
