There are quite a few efforts underway! At the moment, the main efforts are town clean-ups, arranging a free event in the Salem Commons, and street promotions. Lets think up some interactive projects to encourage people to share their art, music & ideas out on the street!
The town clean up series began Thursday March 31st at the Peabody Institute Library Mill Pond. The Campaign for the Growth of the Human Mind cleared the area of broken glass, plastics, and some nasty junk. We are planning to install a recycling bin that will be managed and decorated by the campaign, as recyclable cans and bottles seem to pile up at this location. The next clean up will be along Holten st. in Danvers. We are hoping to have at least 15 people for this next clean up, so we might get the whole street done in the 3 or 4 hours we have scheduled ( Thursday April 7th 2-5pm ) .
The Salem Commons is a location we’ve had our eye on for quite a while. The gazebo is a great stage for an artist or speaker, and being right in the middle of a city we hope to draw in the passerby. We are planning for a weekend in may and would like to incorporate as much local art and music as possible, so go ahead and inform your friends! We are looking into the possibility of having electric instruments but we are calling it an acoustic event until we get more information from town hall. There will be a brainstorm for this event on Saturday April 9th @ 3PM at the Peabody Institute Library in the Gordon Room.
As for street promotions, we are thinking of setting up a stand where we could put out art or science experiments, take polls, hand out handouts, play music for people, maybe even have some renown people there with us! We will be discussing this effort and the Salem commons event at the next brainstorming session on April 9th.
Hope to see you there!
