Are you looking for INSPIRATION when applying for GRANTS?

Are you interested in:

âś…Building community?
âś…Improving public space?
âś…Delivering permanent public art?
âś…Enabling long term change?
âś…Supporting healthier communities?

Then we should talk!

As a result of CoVid 19 I am seeing (grant) opportunities to launch projects that prioritise streets and spaces for people.

From temporary to longer-term projects, we’re being encouraged to stimulate innovative ideas to support communities.

Let’s think BIG!

To me, innovative ideas don’t mean surface treatments like planter boxes or even funky street furniture, but something that leaves the 🌏 a BETTER PLACE.

To enable long term change we need to include the ideas of the PEOPLE that know what’s best for their pocket of the world.

So, if you’re looking for a placemaking program that builds community and can support physical distancing requirements, I encourage you to consider The O initiative

We offer:

âś…An (online) community engagement platform
âś…An opportunity for your community to express their ideas
âś…A piece of public art that stimulates sustainable behaviour choice

That sounds like a lasting legacy, a way to leave the 🌏 in a better place.
