Placemaking

Aiming to create a sense of connection among people to shared public spaces. To achieve that bond is to make improvements to what is seen as a common space and transform it into a place that is extraordinary. A destination with assets as unique as the place itself. An inviting place where people gather, connect, and share as a community. This is placemaking.

The Cove

With a common vision for an exciting space filled with art, light, and an increased sense of safety through activation, the Rochester Downtown Alliance, Art Heads Emporium, and Cafe Steam created a space lovingly called “The Cove” in 2018.
