A healthy neighborhood allows residents to live, work, shop and play within, and have the collective power to shape the future of their community.

To build and sustain healthy neighborhoods requires vision, stewardship, and powerful stories; all of which artists, creatives, and culture-bearers are uniquely positioned to support. When commercial space operators invest in deep reciprocal relationships with artists, creatives, and culture-bearers as commercial tenants, they anchor key collaborators who can engage and connect community members and build collective power to advance broad community goals.

Join them for this interactive and creative conversation, bringing together perspectives from both commercial real estate and resident-led placemaking professional, alongside the creative practitioners who hold space as their commercial real estate tenants and deep collaborators in neighborhood change and stewardship work. Together they will share stories and explore proven strategies for cultivating robust tenant/ collaborator relationships, technical supports, neighborhood outcomes-oriented leasing policies and practices that keep commercial real estate affordable and keep community in place.
