The Department of Interior Architecture, Department of Art, and the Lloyd International Honors College invite you to participate in a THINK TANK meeting on Tuesday, November 4, 2-3pm, in the Third Floor Studio of the Gatewood Building (527 Highland Ave.) at UNCG.
For more information about the Think Tank, see: http://honorscollege.
These students are coming up with ideas for engaging several communities through ART + DESIGN, and WE NEED YOUR INPUT. Come learn about the Think Tank students’ experiences thus far this semester, and contribute to a discussion including these students, other UNCG faculty, and a special guest, Ryan Saunders of Create Your City.
The Think Tank is still strategizing how/where/when to engage the community through design, and we’ve spent the fall semester doing a lot of brainstorming and case study research. Some of the things we’ve talked about as a Think Tank include:
- Using graphic design + signage to build awareness around particular issues
- Designing community gardens to address food insecurity
- Addressing literacy through the design of little free libraries
- Using public art to connect UNCG + surrounding communities
- Engaging school kids through art + design projects
- Developing a mobile cart or trailer for guerilla gardening
Want to get involved in community-engaged art + design and help shape the work of this Think Tank? Stop by Tuesday afternoon. Bring a friend!
