Presentation for the Upcoming Youth Art Park

With much excitement and anticipation the design for the Youth Art Park has begun! Local Landscape Architect and member of the Carbondale Arts Board, Nicholas DiFrank will be updating the design and managing the project, which was originally conceptualized and designed by students of Carbondale Middle School with help from Andrea Korber of Land+Shelter and Kurt Peterson of Forum Phi. This park will be one of a kind, playing on the intersection of art + recreation for our youth population. Elements such as p-ART-kour, outdoor classroom space, art walls, renewable energy and nature as art are up for discussion and visioning. On September 9th Carbondale Arts held a public Zoom meeting and presentation on the possibilities of the park to get feedback and direction. The presentation was recorded for continued public access, along with the plan documents and design explorations, available on CarbondaleCreativeDistrict.com.  We will continue taking suggestions throughout the month of September and will present the final design later this fall.
