Creative Placemaking designed to engage and invigorate communities
CREATIVE CONCORD
Developed and produced by Local Edition, Creative Concord is an annual arts & culture experience tailored specifically for the City of Concord, CA. Working in partnership with Visit Concord and city staff, the event was established as an inaugural multi-day public art experience that engages a wide local demographic to unite via arts programming including murals, sculptures, music, and performing arts. The event is free to attend and accessible to a community currently devoid of anything similar. A celebration of arts & culture, Creative Concord was designed to be an economic impact and social interaction strategy utilizing the proven concepts of creative placemaking driving community engagement through the arts.

MARE ISLAND ARTYARD
When your task is to turn a decommissioned naval base into a day-tripping destination to discover art and create a source of pride for locals, you must have a multi-faceted approach using creativity, collaboration, and community! Now in its 3rd year, the Mare Island Artyard is an annual exhibition of temporary sculptures and artworks commissioned by The Mare Island Company. Local Edition Creative developed and produces the annual project that includes a 6-month display of large-scale sculptures, murals, local artist projects, and community involvement activities.
