How Graphic Design and Illustration Generates Community Engagement

What role can graphic design play in shaping the way people experience public space?

This edition of Clambake: Creative Conversations explores how graphic design, illustration, and visual storytelling can invite curiosity, participation, and connection. Set within Providence's 195 District Park, the conversation will feature two designers whose projects have used the park as both inspiration and canvas for engaging the public through visual communication.

Through their work, we'll examine different approaches to creating site-responsive graphics and imagery, and discuss how design can transform everyday spaces into opportunities for discovery, interaction, and community building. From wayfinding and placemaking to illustration and public engagement, the conversation will explore how designers respond to place, audience, and context.

Join us for an evening of short talks and conversation in the beautiful setting of Providence's 195 District Park as we consider how graphic design can shape experiences, foster connection, and activate public space.

Special thanks goes out to our host and event sponsor 195 District Park, for helping make this Clambake: Creative Conversation possible.
