EastHUB is the catalyst for

placemaking

[vc_single_image image=”201″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”center” css=”.vc_custom_1617299489565{margin-top: 0px !important;}”]

a cooperative process by which we shape our community to maximize our shared values

[4k_icon icon=”en-arrow-down-7″ icon_color=”#070d69″ icon_size=”20″ margin=”10″]

focusing attention on the diverse cultural and social identities that define a community

[4k_icon icon=”en-arrow-down-7″ icon_color=”#070d69″ icon_size=”20″ margin=”10″]

and encouraging everyone to collaboratively visualize and then create shared communal spaces that become the heart of the community

PLACEMAKING

creates communities where people

[vc_single_image image=”201″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”center” css=”.vc_custom_1617299489565{margin-top: 0px !important;}”]

want to live, work, visit

[4k_icon icon=”en-arrow-down-7″ icon_color=”#070d69″ icon_size=”20″ margin=”10″]

and make new connections, helping to overcome prejudice and discrimination based on inequality

[4k_icon icon=”en-arrow-down-7″ icon_color=”#070d69″ icon_size=”20″ margin=”10″]

and where people of all ages and cultural backgrounds participate in shared experiences that spark cross-cultural dialogue

I think of EastHUB as the “WeWork” concept, but applied to arts and culture. It will provide flexible spaces and resources to support the arts groups and cultural organizations in our region.[/testimonial_sc][/testimonials_ctn]
