Plowshare is rooted in the cultural and storytelling traditions of the American South, a place of beautiful complexity, paradox, and possibility.

Here, small towns have big dreams. Rural agriculture meets urban renewal. The handmade connects to cutting-edge fabrication and automation. And the landscape itself inspires ingenuity and artistic innovation.

Plowshare helps its partners plan and navigate public art projects through actionable strategy and decades of combined expertise. Inspired by the symbolism of the epoynymous farm implement, we prepare the metaphorical soil of community for flourishing projects that contribute to creative placemaking, economic development, and homegrown meaning-making.
