Using short video clips from the Belews Creek community, discover ways The Lilies Project used art to advocate for the clean-up of coal ash in the Stokes County community. We will examine how history, community, advocacy and healing work together to transform a place by using arts. The creative placemaking grant looked at history for civil rights leadership and a legacy of collaboration through uplifting community events. Using these examples, we sought to create a stronger community, statewide collaborations and a new vision for the future. Learn about these guiding principles and brainstorm ideas for applying them to your own community.
