Kene Okigbo, Associate ASLA supports the office through social media correspondence and office administrative duties. His work experience is diverse and includes serving on executive committees, contributing as a member of design studios, managing installation crews, and even serving ice cream.  He is most passionate about how the effects of his work can influence the members of the community. Born in Nigeria, partially raised in Kenya, and currently calling Fargo home; the importance of a diverse, vibrant, openly communicating community has never been lost to him.

​​Kene holds a Bachelor of Landscape Architecture and a Bachelor of Science in Environmental Design from North Dakota State University. He echoes Reach Partners’ “problem solver/servant hero” mentality and manifests it in the client-focused approach to the projects he is a part of. He pools his passion and competence to support all of Reach Partners’ clients and values.

Lessons on Creative Placemaking – Observations at ArtPlace America Summit

Artists, community organizers, program directors, designers, urban planners, large community developers, small HUD offices, mayors, directors, university fellows converged in Phoenix at the generosity of ArtPlace America to explore, share and learn from the observations of those involved in creative placemaking across the country.  I was one of the grateful 250 to inquire and learn from the exquisite experts, poets, social organizers and disruptors who shared space.

Artplace America is 10-year collaboration of private and public funders with a focus on community planning and development with arts and culture at the core. I attended because of involvement as Communication Manager with The Fargo Project, a 2014 grantee of the National Placemaking Fund. 

I don’t want to forget.  So what follows is the summary of the connections I made from notes, conversations, and speakers at the 2016 ArtPlace America Summit. With openness and vulnerability each was willing to share their pieces of discovery and the passionate well of curiosity from which they draw and apply to the work (or is it play?) within their place. Together we learned some of the characteristics of great creative placemaking, the challenges, sources of discovery, the advocates, and distinguished the markers of success.
