Why Art Belongs In Affordable Properties
Mitch Eckert
Art enriches communities, influencing the daily experiences of residents, staff, and visitors. Thoughtfully chosen pieces can create:
Sense of Home: Residents take pride in their everyday spaces that are culturally rich environments.
Community Bonds: By reflecting the neighborhood's character and diversity, works by local artists increase feelings of belonging.
Cultural Heritage: Artwork has the power to connect with the diverse backgrounds of residents.
Living Experience: Welcoming atmosphere created by the art surpasses basic housing requirements.
Developer Values: Property owners, developers, and management teams demonstrate dedication to resident well-being through carefully selected art collections that enhance common spaces..
Design Integration: Our curations enhance architectural design to maximize visual interest in the common areas.
Investing in art for your affordable housing properties not only enhances the quality of life for residents but also transforms spaces into caring communities. This investment can increase property values, leave a lasting positive impact on both residents and neighborhoods, and ultimately make your developments more attractive and valuable in the long term.

Project Description
Artist Ryan Peltier thoughtfully combined animated moments of community with local advocacy – and pride – in his buzzing fourteen story mural. Wavy lines signify, more literally, the transportation efforts to connect the area, but also symbolize a deeper ethos: the fact that the city, as a whole, is proud to collaborate and work together towards the common good. With beloved local landmarks peppering the scene, the artist brings the messaging of unity back home, giving the entire neighborhood a sense of pride and belonging.
