Podcast: Public Art and Programming
Transforming Our Streets and the Public Realm Through Art and Programming
The last year showed us that our public plazas, sidewalks, and parks are more important than ever. On this Gensler Design Exchange podcast, the Golden Triangle BID Executive Director, Leona Agouridis, sits down with Gensler Principal & Studio Director, Carolyn Sponza, and artist, Cheryl Wing-Zi Wong, to explore how art and the built environment can intersect to address the increased demand for public space activation spurred by the global pandemic and to create more equitable, sustainable business districts in the future.
Map of the Golden Triangle
A map of the 43 blocks of the Golden Triangle BID shows the BID boundaries, directions to nearby attractions, Metro stations, parks, and building footprints. Use it as a quick reference guide to help you get around the neighborhood.
Cycling in the Golden Triangle
Cycling can be a great way to get around in the Golden Triangle. With more than 400 racks on the street, six artistic racks, and several bike sharing locations, it’s easy to enjoy the benefits of biking in the central business district.
