As communities and municipalities recover, setting infrastructure for the arts is an important consideration within the context of a creative economy.

Stan Washington, president & CEO of Pantheon Business Consulting LLC is the developer and project executive for overall property management, pre-development, programming, development and construction of the Stocker Street Creative Redevelopment Project (SSC)

Also in the conversation is Ayuko Babu, Founder and President of the Pan African Film Festival, along with Gil Robertson, President of the African American Film Critics Association

Once completed, the SSC is going to change the Crenshaw Corridor and more importantly give Black creatives another seat at the table.
