Art x Love was invited to give the closing presentation on Why Art Matters at “Quality of Life Day” for the City of Green’s Community Leadership Initiative. This program for business and community leaders is designed to foster and encourage community engagement, immersing participants in an in-depth leadership program focused on Green, Ohio.

The program day that included an introduction to Pickleball and presentations from Ohio & Erie Canalway, Summit Metro Parks, Akron Community Foundation, and the City of Green.

We were delighted to learn that participants voted Art x Love among the most valuable experiences of the day, calling the presentation “So eye opening – I did not expect art to be so useful in placemaking and changing the space into something better.”
