Music Urbanism in Motion: Affordable Spaces to Preserve Austin's Cultural Pulse

Mar 8, 2025

4:00pm – 5:00pm CT

The sound of the streets awakens us. We gather around acts of creativity; individuals brave enough to alter our sense of time and we celebrate what it is to be alive, together. Let’s protect our musicians, our artists, our creative class, making sure there is still room for them to work, live, and spread joy. Hear from experts in music, placemaking, and urban design who share real-life solutions out of Austin, Jacksonville, and Philadelphia. Join in as they discuss innovative strategies that position retired city buses, under-used alleys, and vacant storefronts into vibrant gathering spaces.
