BUILDING MOMENTUM FOR YOUR LONG-TERM VISION

Erin Cahill   |   February 16, 2022

This Citizens’ Institute on Rural Design webinar (February 16, 2022) explores how small, quick arts activities can help communities rally around larger design projects and how storytelling fuels engagement and shared vision. Facilitated by Emmy award-winning journalist Emily Schmidt and Springboard for the Arts’ Jun-Li Wang, the conversation highlighted practical strategies rooted in rural contexts—from artist-led placemaking to creative engagement practices that spark long-term momentum. At Aspen CSG, we see this kind of rural-rooted design leadership as central to community well-being—where creative tools and authentic storytelling help residents build collective power and shape the future of their places.
