Judson Memorial Church
by Washington Square Park
239 Thompson Street, cross street W. 3rd
In the assembly hall basement
Participants are invited to present projects and programs they are working on, or ideas in development. Refreshments will be provided.
On April 2nd more than 130 artists, activists, and academics met, discussed, questioned, plotted, and planned in the basement of Judson Church. The bulk of this took place in smaller break-out groups, and each of those groups will meet this month to have more face time, get deeper into things, and roll up sleeves.
These working group meetings are open to anyone who’s interested in getting involved:
Arts In Action Working Group, Wednesday April 9th, 7pm. At Eyebeam: 540 W. 21st Street, (between 10th and 11th Avenues), Manhattan. A portion of this meeting will be structured as a salon/clearinghouse, where participants can announce projects and events, offer or solicit resources, meet and identify collaborators. The other portion of the meeting will be oriented towards brainstorms and planning for the upcoming Where We Are Now “day of action” to take place in early summer.
Communications Working Group, Sunday April 13th, 3pm. At The Change You Want To See Gallery: 84 Havemeyer Street at Metropolitan Ave, Williamsburg, Brooklyn. At the last break-out participants discussed plans to form project teams along the following lines: maps/ephemera, translation, media tent for day of action, pirate radio/podcasting, stenciling/wheatpasting/visibility, website. At this upcoming working group meeting we will further concretize these ideas, identify point people for each project, make plans, and make stencils!
Conference and Pedagogy Group, to be determined.
Community Group, to be determined.
Where We Are Now hosts monthly network-wide meetings, as well as working group meetings for each of the three working groups (conference and pedagogy; communications; and arts in action).
The larger network-wide meetings are held on the first Wednesday of every month, from 6:30-8:30pm at the assembly hall of Judon Church by Washington Square Park. The first hour is a network-wide meeting with updates about endorsed projects, report-backs from the three working groups, and discussion. In the second hour working groups will break-out for smaller working meetings.
In between monthly meetings, working groups hold meetings in various locations in the city, to plan for the Where We Are Now conference, day of arts in action, and other network projects.
