This it Tourism: Creative Catalyzer Carter

This week on “This is Tourism,” installation artist Carter Hubbard talks to Ron Stutts about Floraffiti — a place-making initiative that aids in creating a sustainable visitor destination that reflects a town actively invested in its community. By valuing cultural identity and cultivating economic development, Florafitti creates destination points around town and along retail corridors that promote passersby to explore and engage with the world around them, from walking trails to spending money at local businesses.

The ☀️is out today and that’s what #Floraffiti loves! Floraffiti also needs inspiration to grow🌱Free Teen Poetry Workshops start April 3rd in Carrboro.
