Through his work in Los Angeles and Oakland over the past 10 years, Steve Rasmussen Cancian has become a specialist in neighborhood improvement projects designed to serve the existing community and not attract, or even repeal, gentrifiers.  The goal of his work is to create a better neighborhood for the same neighbors. In this all day design-build workshop, Cancian will lead participants in planning and building a sidewalk livingroom designed to improve Washington Park for current residents without catalyzing gentrification.   The hope is to set the foundation for a local effort to use art and design to incrementally improve the neighborhood for current residents.
