Love Where You Live: An Evening with Peter Kageyama
6:30pm to 12:42pm @
Cornerstone Center for the Arts
520 E Main, Muncie, IN 47305
Join other Muncie creators, innovators, and connectors as we explore the critical importance of the most powerful of motivators – the human heart – in community, social, and economic development.
Peter Kageyama is an internationally sought-after community development consultant and author of For the Love of Cities: The Love Affair Between People and Their Places and Love Where You Live: Creating Emotionally Engaging Places. He speaks all over the world about bottom-up community development and the amazing people who are making change happen.
Peter explores what makes cities lovable, what motivates ordinary citizens to do extraordinary things for their places, and how some cities, such as New Orleans, Detroit, and Cleveland, are embracing concepts like “beauty,” “passion,” and “fun” in city building and revitalization.
This evening promises to reenergize our current efforts, inspire new ideas, and catalyze collaboration among the people who love – and want to love – Muncie.
Pre-registration is appreciated.
