Why You Should Become A PlaceMaker™
"PlaceMakers™ are leaders who understand how and why a strong sense of place influences their entire community’s physical, social, and emotional health. That the art of PlaceMaking™ is for anyone and everyone who wants to celebrate what makes their city special."
Bruce Plourde, Owner + Artist
The idea of PlaceMaking™ belongs to everyone. Using public spaces to feature art that focuses on what makes your city great is important for social and cultural growth. It’s a grassroots initiative that leads to community pride.
Place making is not a new idea.
In the 1960s, place making gained traction when people like Jane Jacobs and William Whyte introduced groundbreaking ideas about designing cities for people, not just cars and businesses. Their work focused on the social and cultural importance of thriving communities and inviting spaces.
Similarly, the artwork of City Imprints allows people of all ages, abilities, and economic backgrounds to experience images that feature places in their community. At City Imprints, PlaceMaking™ is a collaborative design experience that shapes your business or public spaces to maximize shared values.
Community is built
around places.
When you fill your walls with art that says, “I love it here!” you are leading a vision that is:
- Community-driven
- Visionary
- Inclusive
- Dynamic
- Transformative
That’s genuine PlaceMaking™ in action.
You can re-imagine everyday places in your community.
The art you select for your spaces goes beyond a beautiful collection of images. Your installations will transform your brand and your spaces—physically, socially, and culturally. We love collaborating with you and the people who live, work, and play in a particular place.
Let’s strengthen the connection between people
and the places they share.
Fill your spaces with custom, local art installations that connect to your brand, interiors, and location. Let City Imprints help you create a human connection to your community.
Become A Placemaker!
