  Bankable Moments & the Experience Economy: Workshopping Eagle’s First Immersive Art Exhibit

  74% of Americans prioritize experiences over products or things. Nationally, it’s estimated that consumers are spending $160 to $180 billion annually on experiences. In 2017, visitors to Colorado spent nearly $21 billion on experiencing our state. Welcome to the Experience Economy; an economy where moments matter. This interactive workshop will unpack how to design immersive art exhibits and set the stage for artists, designers and creatives to build an immersive art experience in downtown Eagle. The session will cover experience design, emotional design, marketing, pricing and artist-driven community collaboration. 

  Speakers

  + Jenny Filipetti // Cofounder of Denver Immersive Arts Summit & Assistant Professor at the University of Colorado Denver 

  + Brian Corrigan // Creative Strategist

  + Katherine Correll // Downtown Colorado, Inc.

  Colfax is America’s longest Main Street, and an important corridor in the Denver Metro Area. The unique structures were designed when small development was the norm and products and services were intended to meet the needs of locals and capture traffic passing by. Today’s market doesn’t permit small scale development and redevelopment because of the barriers imposed by our regulations and access to capital. Join this discussion as we reveal some change of thinking and practice around making small possible. We will also look at other districts facing this challenge in an effort to share solutions to start a wave of development possibilities that protect and enable small business and property owners to stay put, grow, and thrive.

  Amidst cries of “stop the growth” we face a housing and mobility crisis on Colorado’s traditional Main Street corridors in urban and rural areas. As with most of our conundrums, the answer may lie in the past, and the problem solvers are already working in our downtowns and commercial districts. Rather than pushing for bigger, why not go small? Join us as we unpack ideas around small scale development and redevelopment, how an incremental and intentional approach may foster sustainable transformation, and what change must happen at the regulatory and financing level to make it feasible. Part three of a three part series will focus on building best practices and solutions to the barriers that limit small scale development and meaningful redevelopment of our main street corridors.
