Easton is taking its first major step toward creating a public art master plan — with the community at its core. On Saturday, October 18th, residents and stakeholders are invited to The Market at Dover Station (500 Dover Road) from 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. to explore the power of Creative Placemaking and see how sparks of creativity can lead to lasting change.
The focus will start in the East End Neighborhood, with our consultant – and new East End artist resident – Deborah Patterson leading the effort to transform Dover Road and the Rail Trail into a vibrant gateway to Easton through public art. While she will facilitate the discussion, the true vision will come from the community.
“The process is about more than art – it’s about the community,” says Patterson. “We want every voice to be heard, and every idea has the power to shape what comes next.”
The Creative Placemaking process is an organic, bottom-up, inclusive opportunity for residents and stakeholders to reimagine their neighborhood spaces through their own original ideas and imagination.
This event is free and open to all.
