Essentially, mixing art and culture into the DNA of public infrastructure and public space projects that create vibrance on the street Projects that may change the game in a neighborhood or town Gets a few steps beyond traditional activities such as murals, beautification, memorials, signage, a fancy building, etc, but could include these as part of a broader strategy.

25 International Day of Peace Celebration September 21- every year The town plaza is decorated with peace-themed 4 x 8 wooden murals sponsored by local businesses, designed by local artists and painted by the community, along with culturally designed decorations. The celebration begins with the annual After School Peace Festival held on the Ajo Unified School District campus on Well Road. Around 5 pm, festival participants will line up at the school to begin the International Day of Peace Parade to the Plaza. Led by Tohono O odham dignitaries, carrying 1,000 origami peace cranes (a gift from a Japanese peace delegation), neighbors from Sonoyta, Mexico, and the Tohono O odham Nation will join Ajo youth and adults in the parade to the town plaza. Large dove puppet kites with 15- foot wingspans, dove and raven headdresses, giant Sonoran Desert critter puppets, peace poles and peace flags are all featured in this colorful multicultural community parade of about 200 participants. The community gathers in the Plaza around 4:30 pm to await this whimsical and colorful parade while being entertained by a Tohono O odham band and cultural foods vendors. Once the parade arrives, cultural dance troupes, stilt walkers, and more thrill the crowd with their lively entertainment.
26 A few take aways. Focus on the good things you already have, be it buildings, nature, institutions, etc. Our old main street neighborhoods are a good place to start. Everything you do might be centered around that place. Rural places will continue to shrink. We can t afford to foster more unsightly, numbing, dispiriting, and economically-depleting sprawl. NOT Build it and they will come. Repeat NOT. Yes, build it. But do a whole bunch of other things (e.g. planning, zoning, tax incentives, federal $, etc) around a FOCUSED and INTEGRATED strategy. Work with local foundations and get them interested in leading this effort with $ and ideas. Think regionally whenever you can. And work to find ways your rural town can connect to urban economy and people. Cities should be our partners in this effort.
