Listen as Joan Vorderbruggen, a visionary force in public art and creative place-making reveals how art can revolutionize communities. Through Minnesota's beloved Dayton's holiday displays and the new Twin Cities Public TV (TPT) documentary "Remember the Magic," she weaves together cultural preservation, community transformation, and art's power to drive social change.
Her work spans from "blazering up" for boardroom presentations to organizing community celebrations in challenged urban spaces. Joan's raw authenticity reveals how art can combat homelessness, bridge divides, and turn despair into hope and connection.
She describes working with unsheltered individuals, empowering youth through creativity, and changing perspectives - even among skeptical civic leaders.
Joan's radiant spirit and profound wisdom reminds us that saving cultural treasures isn't just about preserving the past - it's about igniting the sparks that light our collective future.
