In a renewed effort to transform underused public spaces in Northwest Arkansas, we are accepting applications from nonprofits and local government agencies in Benton and Washington Counties, Arkansas, to receive $100K Community Placemaking Grants thanks to the Walton Family Foundation.

Our 2025 Impact Report is a testament to what happens when communities are put at the center of public space design.

The Market Cities Network is the first international forum for markets of all kinds and the people committed to their success. This initiative brings together market operators, NGOs, funders, researchers, and more to create stronger and more resilient communities.

A Placemaking Handbook: Now available for purchase through Indiebound.org, in support of your local bookstore, and internationally through Amazon.
