Villa Maria College’s Art Department continues the Art Topics lecture series with Leslie Zemsky, partner in Larkin Development Group and director of special events and projects (aka Director of Fun) Larkin Square, who will speak about “Creating whimsy amongst the warehouses” in the college auditorium, Tuesday, November 11 at 11:30 am.

Zemsky will discuss how Larkin Development Group has revived a neighborhood, now referred to as Larkinville and how they have engaged the community with the events at Larkin Square, touching on past, present and future development.

Led by Howard Zemsky, the group has been renovating a series of warehouse buildings which were once part of the Larkin Soap Company. Renovations over the past decade include more than 800, 000 square feet of office space. More than a half mile of street scape renovations and a public gathering space for events called Larkin Square.
