The National Endowment for the Arts chairman will be in Chattanooga next week to participate in a panel discussion about how artists can bring declining communities back to life.
Rocco Landesman will be the special guest in a discussion about what is called “creative placemaking.”
“Simply put, ‘creative placemaking’ is the ways in which communities use the arts to help shape their social, physical and economic characters — cities and towns literally change when you bring artists to the center of them,” Landesman said in a news release.
