On this episode of the Bold Creatives Collective Podcast, TJ and Hannah discuss the natural components of being an artist and how those are crucial for showing up as our whole selves in the spaces we inhabit- our work, home, social media, gatherings with friends and family, and more.Post-Covid, the veil between our personal and professional selves is down, and art and artists help guide us in how we show up in a fully actualized way. It's important to encourage connectivity in all ways, in all things and sectors. When we are connected, the world begins to change more helpfully and organically, and human beings get to turn their attention to the next phase of imagination. Let's discover what we can truly accomplish.

Hannah Rechtschaffen (she/her) is a personable, high-energy creative focused on strategic planning, creative economy development, and cross-sector communication. Since discovering the concept of Creative Placemaking in 2014, her work has pivoted fully to focus on how the arts, culture, and history of a place can be leveraged to make it more inclusive and economically sustainable.

Hannah's work is rooted in the complexity of the human experience, which she meets with authenticity and a willingness to delve into the most challenges scenarios and questions with curiosity, empathy, and a true yearning to understand. Hannah works with local and state-level stakeholders, business owners, entrepreneurs, solar development, artists, and community members.

Hannah holds a BA in Theatre and History from Oberlin College, and a Master's in Arts Administration from Drexel University. Her background in arts and business brought her to Creative Placemaking, which continues to be her passion - especially as the field progresses and becomes ever more relevant.
