In a project led by Washington, DC’s respected Director of Planning, Harriet Tregoning, the City will help revitalize emerging creative neighborhoods by transforming vacant or underused storefronts and empty lots into artist showcases and culture villages for periods of three to six months. These Arts & Culture Temporiums will demonstrate to cities everywhere how to use local artists and local assets to encourage vibrancy in unexpected places.
