Amy Tuttle

Amy Tuttle is a "placemaking" artist and arts-based community development specialist who resides in Cincinnati, Ohio. She has a Master of Arts degree from Eastern University in Urban Studies: Arts in Transformation. Amy specializes in the field of "arts-based placemaking." Placemaking is a multi-faceted approach to the planning, design and management of public spaces. Put simply, it involves looking at, listening to, and asking questions of the people who live, work and play in a particular space, to discover their needs and aspirations and represent them through the arts. Amy has engaged her passion for community art in many settings including: Haiti, Philadelphia, India, and Cincinnati. In 2012, she received an Ohio Arts Council grant to continue the development of her Trail Art project, an environmental placemaking
project, at Grailville Program & Retreat Center. In fall 2012, Tuttle served as a “trainer” for a pilot
program with BuildaBridge International and UNICEF in Haiti. She provided “Community Arts
for Children” training and certification to over 100 Haitian community leaders. Tuttle has worked
with BuildaBridge International for 3 years.
