"...art isn’t just for wall decorations and investment diversification. It is its own creative economy; a tool so powerful that I would argue it is not only beneficial to those within the art community, it is essential to economic growth and development for those outside of it. By organizing an art festival in the middle of an economically struggling neighborhood, LUMEN8 proved that even with non-permanent installations, the economic effect on the surrounding community could be felt."
