Foster Ave. Underpass Community Event

Growing 2008 - Bryn Mawr Ave & Lake Shore Drive underpass


Join us for a community event in Edgewater Sat. night!

CPAG artists Tracvy VanDuinen and Todd Osborne are returning to Edgewater to work with youth from Alternatives, Inc. They are kicking off their summer project Saturday night at the Foster Ave. and Lake Shore Drive underpass. They will be projecting the final design on to the walls of the underpass and allowing community members to help draw in the lines of the design.

"We have opened this up to the community and is the first time we are doing this so we don't know how it will work. Depending on how many people show up, we may not get everyone on the wall at one time. We may have to take turns so everyone who comes places a mark on the wall. We are just hoping this will become another positive community building experience." says Tracy!

Details:
Saturday May 30th 7:30 p.m.
Foster Ave. under Lake Shore Drive.
Dress in layers, it gets cold as the night goes on.
We will bring everything for the projecting, you should bring what you need for a 3-4 hour event.

CPAG on WBEZ this morning

A new mural (not a CPAG mural) was recently painted over by the city. CPAG's Jon Pounds was asked to speak on WBEZ's news magazine "848" about the incident and the role of public art.

Senior Artist Circle Discussion

What would you want see from your SENIOR ARTIST CIRCLE?
Please post your thoughts here!! Later, as a group, the decision can be made on whether or not the SAC should be reinstated.

Below are some suggestions that have been made regarding the SAC. Feel free to comment on any of these or make new ones!!

The SAC is to be a self-governing group responsible for deciding what task/planning they want to take on i.e. workshop planning, cafes, etc.

The SAC will have shared responsibilities of the tasks once assigned to the Artist Liaison.

The SAC will serve as an advisory council to the Program Director –project development, artist selection/assignment on projects, current project progress, etc.

SAC will participate in project and peer evaluations

SAC elections, should be postponed until CPAG’s financial issues are addressed and we know the organization will survive.
