Community Art Production Studio - 2nd Class

We began with a tour this afternoon by Clayton Campbell, the man responsible for curation of the 18th st. art studio space where our class is held. After viewing the space and talking about the history of the art center, I'm still left wondering about the neighborhood that this space exists within.
(?) Check out map and research area of 18th st. studios

Next, Pauline introduced us to some frame work to think about this project. She gave us (5) areas to consider:
1) Investigation - of ourselves and the various organizations
2) Access / Gatekeeper - Who is the person that can allow us the into the organization to even talk about the possibility of collaborating?
3) Engaging the Community - this can happen through a variety of ways:
----social engagement
----Public Practice
----Manifestation
----Art
4) Outcome - How will this piece manifest its self?
5) Sustanability - What will happen after our partnership is over?

(?) Note to self - Consider process model

Next we spoke about fundraising. We concluded that we should all try to raise $500 per project. We discussed in-kind donations and events that we could hold.
