As an artist, she has sold paintings across the globe, building a solid following in the local art scene.

This week we visit with researcher, writer, planner, Lorrie Chang to talk about her work with ArtPlace America's Community Development Investment (CDI) program. Along the way we will explore how artists from the Zuni Pueblo, and Southwest Minnesota worked with community developers to integrate arts-based tools and strategies as an enduring core of their practice? BIOLorrie Chang centers an arts and cultural-based approach to community change and development as a path to collective liberation. At PolicyLink, she designed and evaluated the nation's first Creative Placemaking technical assistance program for The National Endowment for the Arts, served as the research partner for ArtPlace's experiment to integrate arts and culture strategies into community development organizations, and supported six arts organizations advancing equitable policies across the country. In East Portland, she led community engagement rooted in storytelling for The People's Plan-- a plan by and for the people projecting a vision for a thriving Black community. As a Yerba Buena Center for the Arts' Truth Fellow, she explored, "How do we find and empower TRUTH?". Last year, in stillness, she humbly pursued, “What does liberation look like for me?”. She now seeks to alchemize her journey of personal liberation to serve collective liberation. Lorrie holds a Master's in Urban and Regional Planning and resides in San Francisco. Notable MentionsThe Southwest Minnesota Housing Partnership (SWMHP) is a non-profit community development corporation serving communities throughout Southwest and South Central Minnesota.Partnership Art: In 2015, SWMHP was one of six organizations that received funding through Artplace America to participate in the Community Development Investments (CDI) Program.

Tim grew up in London (Ontario), a small city between Detroit and Toronto. He had a happy childhood, but needed to live a closeted existence as his environment was hostile. After moving to the big city as a young adult, he quickly began to flourish. He lived a life surrounded by art and the artistic endeavour and lived within the irreverent energy that it exuded. Not considering himself an ‘artist', this early adulthood life experience shaped his ambitions to the core nonetheless. He soon began to understand how irreverence in the arts brought people together, created culture and helped changed beliefs. Over his career, he has become a globally recognized social entrepreneur in this space. We discuss how modernism in architecture began to focus away from people and give way to towers, plazas - and the car – and how we lost our way in creating places for people and stories and the emotional connection to both. We chat about the “activation” of a place, multisensorial dimensions and art as urban acupuncture. In line with our discussion with the late Hazel Henderson (ep 61), Tim talks about focusing on a bigger pie – not a bigger slice of what we already have.    To DONATE to the Behind Greatness podcast, please visit here: https://behindgreatness.org.

Today on the show I have Ben Switzer, Co-Founder and CGO of EXAR Studios. After working in sales consulting in the medical field, Ben created the first flexible cognitive enhancement program in Canada. His city-wide engagement toward innovation in mental health led to his coordination of multi-disciplinary teams to develop gamified neurotechnology. His experience with AR and the solutions it can provide propelled him to become Co-Founder and Chief Growth Officer of EXAR Studios. In this episode, we learn about the role of Augmented Reality (AR) in placemaking specifically, the science behind AR, special uses in which EXAR studios has provided a solution during this time of social distancing and limited travel, and the future of AR at least as it relates to the travel and tourist industry.

Yeah, I have a, a bit of an interesting backstory. It's one of those cases where I became an entrepreneur because I had problems in my life that I had to address and there weren't really existing solutions for my particular problem. And my interest began actually in mental health. I had a brain injury and as a young person in my twenties, I was diagnosed with PTs D and I really struggled throughout my teens as well. and, you know, I, I'm kind of at that like perfect millennial age where you know, I remember I experienced depression in high school, but I had never heard the word depression at that point. Sure. So, at that time, I didn't have any frame of reference for the sensations and feelings that were happening to me at that time. And things had kind of changed a little bit, which I'm really glad about in terms of stigma and the conversation opening up mm-hmm .Ben (01:26):So I became very interested in psychology and neuroscience as I was having these problems and interfacing with the medical system and going through psychiatric and all that stuff, wasn't really working for me to the same extent. And so I had to make some adjustments. So I actually started, excuse me, one sec, no problem. In the, in the neuro rehabilitation space. And I was looking at different technologies that people were using to enhance their brain function or to deal with stroke or other neurodegenerative diseases. So I was looking at everything from, you know, and I was shocking my brain with electricity. I was meditating for long periods, taking all kinds of supplements, and I put this all together in a program and applied it to my own life and my own problem. And I was able to have success and restore my function so I could be healthy.Ben (02:26):I wow. And, and it was, that was kind of what sparked the entrepreneurial journey. And I,

Engaging community members, artists and youth to create civic beauty. Tamara Harkavy is the founder and former CEO and Artistic Director of ArtWorks where for 25 years she  oversaw its growth from a small non-profit to Cincinnati’s largest public art program, creating a model for transforming people and places through investments in creativity.  Under Harkavy’s direction, ArtWorks has employed more than 3,600 youth and 3,200 creative professionals, and the organization has completed more than 12,500 public and private art projects including 190 permanent outdoor murals, contributing to the region’s global reputation as an arts destination and an urban, outdoor gallery.    Harkavy founded ArtWorks to address a lack of employment opportunities for teens and to recognize the lasting contributions that artists can make to an urban place. Through ArtWorks, youth gain professional workplace readiness skills, and professional artists benefit by opportunities to advance their careers. The organization works through innovative collaborations with community-based organizations, city agencies, nonprofit organizations, schools, the private sector, and philanthropies. Among ArtWorks innovations is the 2015 program Ink Your Love, a public tattoo project led by international artists Kurt and Kremena in partnership with the Cincinnati Reds and over 50 local artists. In sum, ArtWorks invests in urban creatives, both emerging and established.    In 2017 Harkavy was tapped to be on the creative leadership team for BLINK, an interactive multi-media event spanning 20 city blocks including the newly revived Over-the-Rhine neighborhoods.  Over four days, one million people attended this free event in 2017.

Judy Larson, writer, musician, and artist, can remember a time when she wouldn't have considered herself a “creative”. On today's show, she shares her journey of embracing her own creativity, nurturing those skills and talents in others, and the impact it's had on her own life and her community. Not sure what creative placemaking even is? You need to listen to this one! About Judy With a background in healthcare and economic development, JUDY LARSON has found her passion in building healthy communities. She's a connector and communicator, a listener and lover of people. In 2018, Judy helped to establish Placemakers Co-op, a group dedicated to creating space for makers and do-ers to share ideas, collaborate, build relationships and use their talents. In addition to hosting a unique community-focused event each month, Placemakers Co-op also works with LIVE Inc., an entity that provides services for people with developmental disabilities. Judy has been instrumental in forging a relationship between the two groups by organizing events and classes, (including an artist in residence) for all to enjoy, regardless of ability. In the spirit of People First Language, she believes we are all “people needing support”--people who are happier, healthier and better able to use and expand our talents when we are in a healthy, supportive community. In this episode, we cover: The one thing each of us is compelled to give to the world The difference between Strategic Planning and Strategic Doing What “Fail with Friends” is and how to start one in your community How to use micro-commitments to build involvement The value of simply creating space for people to explore Links + Resources Mentioned The Placemakers Co-Op website: https://www.placemakersco-op.com/ Artists to check out and support!

Previously, Jason served Governor Patrick of Massachusetts as the Creative Economy Director, tasked with growing creative and tech businesses in the state. He was formerly the Director of ArtistLink, a Ford Foundation-funded initiative to stabilize and revitalize communities through the creation of affordable space and innovative environments for creatives. He has also worked for the Mayor of Chicago and New York City's Department of Cultural Affairs.

He wanted to know how he could create spaces for creatives to collaborate and have the ability to solve problems.   Today, we explore how Arizona State University is applying design thinking, and its engagement in social justice by creating educational opportunities with Starbucks and Uber. We also talk about the challenges for design schools, and how we need to teach soft skills and power skill sets’ knowledge.    We'll also dig into how businesses are looking for students who can work collaboratively with soft skills as well as a working knowledge of their field. We’ll talk about how we can use goals and objectives to build online degrees that integrate design thinking, and why this must be done collaboratively and without one person in charge of the entire process. We’ll discuss how privilege plays a role in students’ preparedness and ability to step into a designer role, and Jason's role in providing local schools with how design thinking can be learned and applied inside the classroom.

We had a conversation with Sharon Yazowski, Executive Director of the Mortimer and Mimi Levitt Foundation; Patti Diou of the Levitt Pavilion in Arlington, TX, and Gina Lopez-Hill of the Brewery Arts Center in Carson City, NV. This episode touches on the power of getting the community together over free, outdoor concerts. Our guests give their programs credit for introducing couples who later got married, helping local employers retain talented employees, and helping neighbors meet and bond over music.

Chicago painter, public artist, and creative placemaker Lynn Basa joins the show today. She discusses making the art you want to make and the varied ways that artists are intersecting with public life. Lynn, author of The Artist’s Guide to Public Art, also talks about the legacy she is creating with The Corner Project and how public art has changed over the years.     In this interview, you will hear Lynn talk about: Her background as a studio artist and how it led to her interest in public art. Her time at the Seattle Arts Commission. The big jump of having her tapestries fabricated as rugs in Nepal, to then selling art to private collections, to finally teaching herself the business of finding customers. How the accessibility of art and availability of selling it online has changed the industry over recent years. What creative placemaking is, why it has gotten a bad rap, and how it is different from public art. Why she felt the need to go back to school in 2016 and get an MFA. What The Corner Project is, who funds it, the main mission of the space, and why she was inspired to start it. Some of the obstacles Lynn faced to build a coalition and organize a community in The Corner Project. What a typical meeting at The Corner Project looks like, her biggest challenges in running it, and what she wishes she would have known before starting it. Why an artist would be interested in creative placemaking, and who isn’t cut out for it. How her personal art has developed over time. The Chicago art scene and the way her community supports other artists. Her upcoming book, the second edition of The Artist’s Guide to Public Art. Getting better results by truly listening rather than by imposing your ideas — especially in local politics. How she learned how to pace herself and manage her time more effectively. Inspiration for artists on how they can be catalysts in their communities.   Resources: The Artist’s Guide to Public Art Lynn Basa The Corner Project I’d Rather Be in the Studio   Quotes: “Art is a billion dollar business, and someone has to do it.” “There is so much demand for art of all kinds.” “Buying art isn’t a rich person’s hobby anymore.” “I do think artists have a holistic way of looking at the world, and we need to recognize that.” “Look around you, there are more resources than you think. “   *** This episode of the Art Biz Podcast is sponsored by our Art Career Success System, a year-long business training program for committed artists.
