We’re Getting a Creativity Buzz in San Jose

Tomorrow afternoon, thought leaders from Cisco, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, Hewlett Foundation, Adobe Foundation and the Rockwell Group, among others, will participate in a strategic conversation to elevate the role of aesthetics in creating the next generation of great American cities.

Through guided discussion, they will join CEOs for Cities, the City of San Jose and 1stACT Silicon Valley in considering the following ambition: We can have access to beauty through art, good design and nature every day – amenities that drive attachment in communities and acknowledge the importance of quality-of-life measures in attracting leaders of the 21st century workforce.

The San Jose Brain Trust will be held at the San Jose Museum of Art in conjunction with the 01SJ Biennial, a program of ZER01 and the City of San Jose to “Build Your Own World” through the imagination of more than 100 local, national and international artists and designers. We expect rich collaboration and exciting new ideas to emerge from this stellar group of creative leaders. Be sure to read more about the 01SJ Biennial in the September issue of Fast Company.
