Michael John Heagerty
Ambassador, Entrepreneur, Place-maker, Experience Creator
I tend to look through the lens of exploration, being drawn to overlooked or under-utilized urban pockets that can be re-imagined. Celebrating the anti-ordinary, envisioning the long-term affects on the social community and locational identity of forgotten spaces is my specialty. Activation of improvisational urban projects via promotions that contribute to local pride and give Syracuse, NY a series of unique and fun activities to enjoy is my mission.
Through collaborations with the local creative class of the Mighty Salt City, I’ve accomplished a series of whimsical interventions and community building events that provide alternative uses for forgotten urban spaces.
