Agenda<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

1. Check status of the Storyboard with GRT. Chronical Heritage is working on setting up an account with a platform for activity.\u00a0 No certain date yet.\u00a0 Arts GIS is a multi-media platform that allows photos, video, text and audio and the Story Map is the Hx of the Gowanus Canal.\u00a0 Expedite, please.<\/p>\n

Getting our stuff out there<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

2. Share materials with committee to send first tranche to Johnny & Emily (Arts Gowanus) for the Walkabout Tour.<\/p>\n

3. Set up email of photos we would like to post to Johnny & Emily.<\/p>\n

4. How the WalkAbout works – There will be a QR code there that folks can use that takes one to a website with a map the viewer uses to find their current location and see what was there before the re-zone. Will invite Johnny & Emily to an upcoming meeting.<\/p>\n

https:\/\/gowanusimprovementdistrict.org\/get-involved<\/a> is where the Walkabout link lives.\u00a0 The actual Walkabout link is here:<\/p>\n

https:\/\/storymaps.arcgis.com\/stories\/c878d7e5ed124f27942a436244695ebb<\/a><\/p>\n

Jason created an excel document that compares what materials already exist in various walking tours.\u00a0 See it attached to the email with this Agenda.\u00a0 It gives us a good starting point to decide on materials.<\/p>\n

5. Now that Spring is coming, set time to meet with Andrea at GCC and Celeste at Dredgers to do possible displays. Work with Outreach to make these into events.\u00a0\u00a0 jqjr@quadrozzi.com<\/a> \u2013 dug up Quadrozzi\u2019s contact info so we can plan a field trip once the snow is gone.<\/p>\n

6. New semester so outreach to Brooklyn College Museum Studies Program and to Pratt\u2019s archeology team is timely now to see if there are any opportunities there. https:\/\/www.brooklyn.edu\/bc-news\/curating-excellence\/<\/a>.\u00a0 If we are going to set up exhibits they may be able to help.\u00a0 bbingham@pratt.edu<\/a>,<\/p>\n

7. Keep an eye on the Union St Library on Clinton Street to see when it opens (not yet). Take a walk up to the substitute library \u2013 who would be in charge of anything displayed there?<\/p>\n

8. At some point we should all, as committees invite the new Region 2 Administrator, Ted Weiss, to a General CAG meeting.<\/p>\n

These items from last year\u2019s February meeting are out there to keep in mind but were not discussed. <\/strong><\/p>\n

9. Explore grants \u2013 (can this work with Sasha\u2019s work?)<\/p>\n

10. Explore funding possibilities (Can our City Council member fund a space like the Coignet Building?)<\/p>\n

11. Keep thinking about spaces for exhibits (temporary or permanent) – Brooklyn Public Library?<\/p>\n

12. Approach Dept of Cultural Affairs and\/or Dept of Arts<\/p>\n

13. We have good intellectual control because we have all the history of the objects that have been retrieved.<\/p>\n

14. Work on Provenance, ownership.<\/p>\n

15. Safe storage (fundraiser?). Some storage conditions currently are good, others need work.<\/p>\n

16. We need to have a way to ensure physical security of the objects both on exhibit and when not on exhibit (this combines storage issues with fundraising).<\/p>\n

17. Digital is easy and there is a market for that. Mary wishes there were more history of the Canal out there but we do have Joseph who is THE historian for Gowanus’ long and important history.<\/p>\n

All Gowanus CAG meetings are open to the public, unless specifically noted otherwise.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
