Volunteers, learn to design your own public design workshops! @ Civic Art Lab

Save to Favorites

This interactive workshop will educate participants in the fundamentals of resilient empowerment, and have them apply these principles to the conception of their own public design workshops. Operation Resilient Living & Innovation (ORLI+) will present attendees with a suite of community engagement strategies, designed to maximize collaboration with underserved populations and leverage local assets to grow a resilient society.

This workshop is part of Civic Art Lab 2017, designed as a pop-up gallery and workshop space in the East Village at Avenue C & 7th Street. The lab will be hosted in partnership with Marc Norov and the Creations Gallery, a mixed-use community pop-up space, adjacent to a community-based bike repair shop. These workshops, talks, and exhibitions are designed by volunteer artists, designers, and teachers who lead investigations into diverse themes such as: creative re-use; urban agriculture; sustainable architecture; health & well-being, and environmental justice, to name a few. Civic Art Lab is hosted by GreenspaceNYC (www.greenspacenyc.org), a non-profit collaborative that develops and curates free educational programming, hands-on workshops, and public design projects that encourage dialogue, enliven public spaces, and promote the future of more equitable and sustainable cities.
