Art & Gentrification

For my capstone project, I want to focus on the gentrified effects that creative placemaking has on a city. I care about the communities that are affected by gentrification and the immoral displacement of their living situations. Living in Virginia Beach, VA I have a personal attachment to the Vibe Creative District. As a designer, I believe it is important to understand the social impact that art has on a community. The goal of this project is to educate my reader on the importance of creative placemaking in improving communities.
