Attendees, CAG Members: Joan Salome-Rodriguez, Moderator. Jason Schwartzman; Joseph Alexiou arrived late but meeting had ended; Michael Kilian was out of town but emailed.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Guests: Irene Baker, National Grid; Aaron Kaufman, Gowanus Remediation Trust, stuck in transit and could not attend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Discussed ways to get the Storyboard and other materials out to the community. Outreach help? Yes. Jason will discuss with Aaron Kaufman and Celeste via email to figure out if the Storyboard can go up on the Website and Instagram. The question is technical. Can the programs we have actually accommodate it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Joan reported that Clinton and Union St library scheduled to open in the fall. What would an email to the library say? Library should be very interested in the Storyboard. Joan will visit once its open.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Agreed to work with Outreach and reach out to Celeste at Gowanus Dredgers for an event including a projection of the Gowanus Graffiti materials and various dredged objects. Celeste is interested \u2013 slideshow of graffiti, objects displayed? Awaiting slideshow from Joseph.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Joan emailed John Quadrozzi (see email correspondence here<\/a>) to set up a visit with Peter to the site and get photos and a sense of what could potentially be moved for display. See below \u2013 does anyone have a relationship with him? Maybe Michael could follow up and introduce himself? Michael Kilian was out of town but e-mailed that he and his wife will reach out to John Quadrozzi. Will follow up in August.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Eymund not present but had agreed to share a bunch of Gowanus Graffiti subway art from 2011. Joan will do another paddle to capture some of the stuff along the Canal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. At the last meeting Peter suggested that a few of the images in our collection of graffiti be printed and framed and ask the nearby buildings where the artwork was to display in their space. See notes in the Gowanus Graffiti collection. How to raise $ for framing? Donations? Joan will search online for cheap frames to see if it can just be done out of pocket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

STILL TO DO<\/b>
\n7. New semester so outreach to Brooklyn College Museum Studies Program and to Pratt\u2019s archaeology team is timely now to see if there are any opportunities there. https:\/\/www.brooklyn.edu\/bc-news\/curating-excellence\/<\/a>. If we are going to set up exhibits they may be able to help. bbingham@pratt.edu – What should an email to these programs say? Draft at this meeting.

Jason suggests to pitch with the storyboard to the colleges and the provenance we have for the items as well as the slide show of Gowanus Graffiti and, hopefully, of Gowanus wildlife. \n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
