2025 PLACEMAKING GRANT

The Gwinnett Creativity Fund’s 2025 Placemaking Grant is the first grant cycle dedicated solely to supporting Gwinnett County’s placemaking projects, with a focus on small-to-midsize projects, following the words of poet John Dryden, “mighty things from small beginnings grow.”

Placemaking is the art of creatively recharging public spaces in dynamic, engaging and inviting ways while ensuring wide accessibility. This grant was created to assist enhancement of public spaces, encouraging vibrancy and activity, while serving the needs of the community functionally, aesthetically and socially. Placemaking may integrate a wide variety of disciplines- including art, culture and design-to elevate interest in local history, tradition, community connection all with an overriding goal of making places better and attracting all communities to spend more time there.
