Philadelphia has a long history of engaging the arts and design communities in the transformation of its public spaces, most notably along the Benjamin Franklin Parkway and Avenue of the Arts. But many recent developments throughout the city, from West Philadelphia to the Delaware Waterfront, have illustrated the power of integrating public art and arts programming for the benefit of community engagement, economic development, and much more. 
 
Join us as we explore the intersection of design and real estate, examining how the value-add of art goes beyond beauty to incorporate education and social connection into our region. Hear from our panel who will discuss how innovative collaborations between developers and leaders of the arts address the power dynamics between the creative and business communities, as well as consider how new developments can help the arts thrive in a post-COVID-19 world.
