What does it take to build a thriving local design economy? Join successful Newburgh creatives and Marilyn Damour, founder of the Kingston Design Connection, for a conversation about how artists, makers, designers, and creative entrepreneurs can work together to strengthen Newburgh's creative ecosystem.

Through discussion and shared experiences, the panel will explore how independent creative practices can become a collective force for economic development, community identity, and neighborhood revitalization. Whether you're a designer, artist, entrepreneur, student, or simply interested in Newburgh's future, this forum invites you to imagine what's possible when creativity becomes a driver of local growth.
