Terrific short video on arts-driven placemaking

Earlier this week I featured the promising work of the public-private partnership ArtPlace, which provides financial support to arts projects that revitalize and strengthen neighborhoods, towns and cities.  It appears to be a fantastic program.  Here's an very fast-moving and well-produced video highlighting the collaborative's work in 2011 and looking forward to the grant assistance just announced for 2012.  Enjoy:
