Artist Carly Jaye Interview: The Creative Economy Driving Our City

Recorded in front of one of Moose Jaw’s most iconic murals — right at the entrance to our city — this episode of Closest to the People is all about the power of the creative economy.I’m joined by artist Carly Jaye — the talent behind this mural and many others across Moose Jaw — whose work goes far beyond walls. From transforming benches and garbage cans into public art, to shaping how our entire city feels and looks, her impact is everywhere.Surrounded by the very work we’re talking about, we dive into how creativity is driving Moose Jaw in real, measurable ways.From large-scale murals that define our streetscapes, to graffiti artists activating hidden spaces, to businesses partnering with artists — like the murals at Boh’s — to expand their reach and draw people in… this is more than art, it’s economic development.Because if we want to grow — and if we want to keep the next generation here — the creative economy isn’t optional. It’s essential.To see the interview in person visit my youtube channel Follow Carly’s work: https://www.instagram.com/artcarlyjaye/Thank you for tuning in.
