Call for Volunteers
Posted on September 17, 2012 by bgbmo
We are hosting a Tip the Block volunteer event next Thursday 20 from 8:30 am- 12 pm in Leonidas. We are a little short on volunteers now so I was hoping that maybe you could help us spread the word to any locals who might be able to come by and work with us on that date? Would it be possible to put out a call for volunteers on your website or social media? Volunteers will help with vegetable garden builds, storm drain cleaning and marking, and neighborhood clean-up. Anyone who is interested should e-mail me at jessica.mp@greenlightneworleans.org.
Thanks
Jessica

Culture Mapping Project Opportunity
Posted on September 5, 2012 by bgbmo
Dear Friends Working, Living and Practicing Culture in New Orleans:
The Claiborne Corridor Cultural Collaborative (C4) is a mapping project of the City of New Orleans Mayor’s Office of Cultural Economy, funded by the National Endowment for the Arts. The map is an essential first step towards establishing a knowledge and asset-based creative place-making tool. Local Architecture and Planning firm, Perez, APC, has been hired to conduct the work.
If you are a member of New Orleans’ formal or informal cultural community, you have a unique opportunity, through the C4 Mapping Project, to stake your ground.
Please visit the C4 website (or visit http://www.C4nola.com) to get more information, see sample maps in-progress and – most importantly – to take a brief survey on the cultural work you do. Completing the survey will ensure your presence on the map. For those answering the survey as individuals, all responses are anonymous.
Feel free to share and disseminate widely to all friends who create, work or participate in New Orleans’ cultural life.
Regards,
ANGELA TAYLOR
C4 Outreach Coordinator
