    Art plays a powerful role in shaping memorable, engaging, welcoming places when it is integrated intentionally into the development process and made accessible to the people who use and experience those spaces every day. This year’s WLI Signature Annual Luncheon will explore how art-driven placemaking enhances user experience, strengthens identity, and creates lasting value – not only for owners & operators, but for the broader community.

    Women leaders from real estate, development, and the creative sector will share real-world examples and practical insights on collaborating with artists, aligning creative vision with project goals, and using art to create inclusive, engaging environments that differentiate projects in competitive markets.

    Join ULI Washington’s Women’s Leadership Initiative for a dynamic conversation on leadership, collaboration, and designing places with intention – where creativity serves both people and place.
