ÜBER DIESE EPISODE
In this episode of Fairport Forward, we explore how art shapes everyday life in Fairport and why that matters for the Village’s future. From benches, banners, and streetscape details to live music, seasonal events, and local maker spaces, creativity is woven into how Fairport looks, sounds, and feels. Joined by guest Pat Rapp, we discuss how art influences behavior downtown, strengthens community identity, and supports the local economy by increasing foot traffic, encouraging exploration, and signaling quality to businesses and investors. The conversation also looks ahead to opportunities like the proposed Public Art Trail and how Fairport can invest in art strategically as “soft infrastructure” that supports long-term growth.
