Are you curious about careers in Art, Culture, and Urban Planning?

Join GW's Sustainable Urban Planning career event featuring Karyn Miller as she discusses key public art projects and initiatives that bring together sustainability and creativity. She will focus on the 19th Street Rain Gardens in downtown DC, which includes green infrastructure, native plants, public art, and artist-designed educational signage. Karyn will also discuss the DC Office of Planning’s Streets for People initiative. This planning project led to the pedestrianization of several key areas in downtown DC and the creation of a pop-up plaza, a sidewalk extension and a series of parklets to bring green space and promote walkability within a dense, urban core.

Ms. Miller will share her most recent work with the City of Rockville, MD where her efforts were awarded a prestigious Bloomberg Philanthropies Asphalt Art Initiative grant to improve safety by adding pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure as well as vibrant artworks to a street in Rockville Town Center.

This is a virtual event open to students, alumni, and prospective students.
