TCRPC has been named a finalist for a placemaking grant from ArtPlace, a private-public collaboration of various top foundations, federal agencies and national banks. Finalists were chosen for their potential to have a transformative impact on community vibrancy and their ability to create a sense of place using art.
If selected, TCRPC will receive financial support in converting downtown Peoria’s Fulton Plaza, an under-utilized pedestrian park, into a vibrant public space that attracts and inspires residents and visitors through locally-influenced public art and urban design.
ArtPlace expects to distribute $15 million towards various projects across the nation in 2012. This year’s grant recipients will be announced in May.
