Skin Deep Kent Arch/Design Exhibition

I get excited when I think about the potential of showcasing all the work that goes on with local schools. I know from personal experience that we did many projects and studies on the local environment from site specific projects to trying to re-imagine master planning techniques for entire communities. There seems to be practically an EXPLOSION of recent exhibits and competitions attempting to get communities to realize that currently there is much discussion about the city and that if they should be at least aware of it, if not actively part of it.

Granted, many of the exhibits seem to be granting exposure to a smaller selection of designers (that is the nature of many exhibits regardless) but that is no excuse for not participating in the many competitions and charrettes that citizens are attempting to jumpstart in order to accelerate this dialog and interact with the larger community.

There is so much POTENTIAL for this town. There just needs to be more voice and involvement behind it.
