017-Humanities in Unexpected Places: Building a Community Park

by | Jun 5, 2025 | Podcast

Through four engaging episodes, our “Humanities in Unexpected Places” podcast series showcases the work of four Michigan Humanities partners who bring humanities programming to untraditional settings that aren’t often associated with the humanities. This episode highlights a collaboration between Grandville Avenue Arts & Humanities and the Grand Rapids Department of Parks and Recreation, where they worked together to name and design a park with community input.
