On Cities and Creativity: A Conversation

CalArts President Steven D. Lavine hosts a panel discussion that centers on the question “What is the overarching role of artists in civic life and creative placemaking?” Joining the conversation are Kelley Lindquist, president of Artspace in Minneapolis and a developer of affordable artist housing throughout the U.S., and Pritzker Prize-winning architect Thom Mayne. Together, they explore issues of gentrification, reclamation and the artists’ influence and impact on today’s urban fabric.
