Community design projects are founded on the idea that community participation is essential for the design decision-making process. 

One-on-one meetings with neighborhood, community, political, and business representatives; evening social events; and morning educational/networking events often support community engagement exercises. 

DUNWOODĒ brings together artists, youth, and community organizations through our creative design model to use art as a tool to link personal expression to community activism for social change.

Our public art projects strive to beautify neighborhoods, visually transform public space; engage participates in societal and personal transformation.

The mission is to give expression to ideas and perspectives that are underrepresented in the public dialogue.

One of the best ways we have found to inspire creativity on a project is encouraging everyone to realize that anything is possible.

This has become a question we ask every one of our clients before we get started, “If nothing were off the table, what’d be your dream?” We help people see that nothing is crazy, so sharing their most offbeat wishes is in their best interest. We work together to find your best solution. It is amazing to see how approaching a problem from this perspective opens the mind of extraordinary people.
