 Art Produce Gallery
wins 2009 Orchid Award!
"When artist Lynn Susholtz renovated the old North Park Produce building into Art Produce, her plans included a "pedestrian art gallery." Places like this are fundamental to the experience of walking in the city. It creates a public space, a meeting space. It is places like this gallery and the view it shares with the street, that make walking in the city worthwhile." Details
Voices: Mapping the Hood installation at Art Produce Gallery, May 17- June 28.
The gallery installation is intended to reflect the many rich layers of community and neighborhood history of North Park and City Heights. Envisioned as an interactive collage, it is a giant pop-up book that tells a story you can walk through and contribute to. The idea was to physically, metaphorically, and cognitively “Map the Hood” with all the various collaborating partners, architecture students, professional artists, children, teens, and community members.
ART @ the Core
Stone Paper Scissors, Eveoke Dance Theatre, TranscenDance Youth Arts Project and North Park Main Street have joined forces to develop a neighborhood initiative called ART @ the Core: Building Community. Art @ the Core is a community movement in North Park and City Heights that uses art as a catalyzing force for positive change. Our goal is to increase access, engagement, and participation in the civic process through cultural development. We seek to identify and utilize community resources to build sustainable, representative, inclusive processes that support and expand constituencies that enhance the cultural and economic vitality of the community.
