Placemaking is often talked about in terms of downtowns or major corridors, but some of the most meaningful placemaking happens closer to home. It happens in schools, where children form their earliest connections to community and place.
KCCI plans to create Leon County’s largest mural and use it as an economic impact and marketing tool. It will be the foundation for a cohesive and intentional mural corridor that activates the space in a way that is inviting for the public.
While the crosswalk art has been removed, Couch says there are many other options to beautify Tallahassee. KCCI is on a mission to enhance placemaking through citizen-driven projects. One of the ways they do that is through KCCI Community Catalysts.
The newest project for the 2026 class of the Knight Creative Communities Institute will look to bring life back to the several communities which once had colorful street art.
