SWEET WATER FOUNDATION INC
Sweet Water Foundation practices Regenerative Neighborhood Development, a creative and regenerative social justice method that creates safe and inspiring spaces and curates healthy, intergenerational communities that transform the ecology of so-called ”blighted” neighborhoods. Sweet Water Foundation utilizes a blend of urban agriculture, art, and education to transform vacant spaces and abandoned buildings into economically and ecologically productive and sustainable community assets that produce engaged youth, art, locally-grown food, and affordable housing. Since 2014, SWF has created a series of urban acupuncture-inspired installations and projects that actively re-story and re-construct a neighborhood located at the nexus of Englewood/Washington Park.
