Montclair Arts
Collective
My intention for the Montclair Arts Collective is to form a comprehensive
online art collective for my community.
I have been a Montclair business owner and active community member for
over 20 years and in that time, I have had the honor of meeting extremely unique,
talented and motived people. I wanted to create a space for us to connect and
flourish and a space where we can promote the greater good. I envision an all-inclusive online home where
artisans, activists and entrepreneurs can showcase their work and collaborate on
events or projects together. I would
like to tap into this rich local base of participants and nurture their
artistic goals. I am thinking locally to impact globally.
As this project has evolved I have had incredibly positive
feedback, lots of interest and have gathered a wealth of resources to help
launch this venture. Interestingly, there has been an undeniable female base,
which falls perfectly in line with this semester’s core focus.
In the next few weeks I have many meetings planned with
local artists, activists and entrepreneurs. In these meetings I will get feedback and a
better working knowledge of the technologies I have chosen to promote this
project. The two fantastic forms of
social media I have selected for this project are Tumblr and Facebook.
Realistically, I project that this collective will pick up speed
and come to fruition in the spring and summer of 2014. The process has been slower than originally anticipated
and not without setbacks but the pace has been steady. The upcoming season will provide us with better
weather for outdoor activities and more opportunities to further promote this
project.
