WYCE's Community Closeup (*conversations concerning issues of importance in West Michigan)

In this episode, we speak with Hannah Berry, Executive Director of Lions and Rabbits Center for the Arts.

Lions & Rabbits fosters creative community development through strategy, transformative placemaking, and workforce development.

Much of their work in the West Michigan area is focused on Public Health…using art as a powerful tool for promoting physical, mental, and emotional well-being.

Their initiatives aim to create environments that inspire healthy behaviors and foster a sense of belonging.

Lions & Rabbits environmental health projects celebrate the interconnectedness of human and ecological health. Through creative interventions, we raise awareness about environmental challenges and inspire stewardship of our shared spaces.

Their goal is to create opportunities for all residents to thrive, and by fostering collaborations and systems thinking to address the root causes of complex community challenges.
