Check out our Recap of Spring Newsletter!
Transform 1012 has been as busy as a bee this Spring. To top it off, we’ve just sent out our Spring Newsletter sharing some highlights. Our pilot programs have thrived, including our urban agriculture workshops, presentations, and hard-hat visits to the site of the future Fred Rouse Center. We were particularly honored to welcome the Hispanic Women’s Network of Texas, Steer Fort Worth and the Fort Worth Metropolitan Black Chamber of Commerce to our future home. Other highlights include Transform 1012 Team winning the inaugural Brite Divinity School Center for Theology and Justice Community Impact Award; Dr. Opal Lee, one of our founding coalition board members receiving the Presidential Medal of Freedom; and our recent opportunity to share Transform 1012’s work at the Women’s Policy Forum. Additionally, we’ve recently welcomed two new members to the Transform 1012 team: Dr. Angela Mack, who will be serving as Community Collaborations Curator, and Siboney Diaz Sanchez, who will work with the design team as a Communities Design Specialist. If you haven’t already, read our newsletter at the link in our bio to stay in the loop on all things happening at Transform 1012 N. Main Street! https://lnkd.in/gqFkaZPF

In December 2023, I was invited by Courtney Christensen from Kansas City Public Library to give a keynote to open their 150th anniversary celebrations. In January I learned that ART IN THE LOOP FOUNDATION, the public art program for #KansasCity run by Downtown Council of Kansas City, had been so inspired by the talk that they had chosen #convivencia as the theme for their public art summer with KC STREETCAR AUTHORITY. This is the impact that I hoped to see from my research. In my latest newsletter, Ann Holliday and Edwing Mendez talk about how the capability of #coexistence transformed into more than 20 performances and installations. I find this story of Kansas City so inspiring. The big takeaways from it are: 1. There is no greater tool for communicating values than #publicart. 2. Public authorities have power and should use their power on how public spaces are used as a platform for the arts. 3. The biggest investments in the arts are not done by growing the cultural budget but incorporating the arts into public infrastructure. 4. Even when working on serious subjects, like downturn revitalization, do not forget play and wonder. Read the entire article here: https://lnkd.in/e6P3Y-wc
