City as a Canvas - How Three Florida Cities Approach Placemaking

Presenters:
Danni Jorgenson, City of Tampa
Cheryl Stacks, City of St. Petersburg
Lauren Matzke, Planning & Development, City of Clearwater

The cities of Clearwater, St. Petersburg, and Tampa are teaming up to share their programs and experiences relating to the "City as a Canvas" concept by introducing art into unique places. Representatives from each of the three cities will talk about their experiences initiating, promoting, funding, and executing the following project types: sidewalk cartouches/sidewalk poetry, dumpster art, storm drain murals, painted crosswalks, painted intersections, painted bulbouts, barrier beautifications, signal wrap boxes, and more! These projects and programs each support Vision Zero and the goal of enlivening pedestrian spaces through use of color.
