RMG Greenspace

We’re excited to share that we’re working with Brook McIlroy landscape architects on transforming the Robert McLaughlin Gallery’s (RMG) outdoor space, transforming it into a community arts greenspace by spring 2023.

Lauren Gould, CEO at the RMG, shares “Our goal is to create a significant outdoor space through creative placemaking and placekeeping that will lead to greater community well-being for all. This greenspace will encourage people to come downtown and experience a recreational and cultural hub. We’re delighted to announce that we’ll be working with LeuWebb Projects and Brook McIlroy to bring this project to life.”
