Episode 28
Emma Klues, VP of Communications & Outreach at Great Rivers Greenway, and Mallory Nezam, Owner & Creative City Consultant with Justice + Joy, talk with KTRS' Jennifer Blome and Josh Gilbert about why art is important in a public project like the Brickline Greenway, what art can do for a sense of place, making people feel welcome, unearthing hidden histories and more. Mallory was one of several artists, alongside input from an Artists of Color Council, who helped to shape the Art component of the Framework Plan that is now used to guide the Brickline projects - plus other greenway projects - during the design phase.
