ARTfarm
Type
The project we are proposing is called ARTfarm and as the name
suggests, it derives inspiration from the Bronx Museum and the local
farmers market. The site selected was a Step Street on 180 E 165th
Street between Grand Concourse and Sheridan Avenue in Bronx. There is a
weeded, run down area surrounding these steps. The site has multiple
levels that allows us to transform this space into an interactive urban
space for the local community. A farmers market is held every few days
close to the site which gave us the idea of creating a green community
space. The site is also close to the Bronx Museum which gave us the
reason to make this space not only communal and green but artistically
inclined. Our proposal included planters of varied sizes, shapes,
colors and materials with perennials that last the season and longer.
We have been working with found objects like cabinet doors and
elliptical tubing materials to create these planters.
Other than that we have been trying to get the local community
involved in the process of creating this communal space. With the help
of the Bronx Museum, we participated in their family affair day where
the children from the community painted planters. We plan on
encouraging ownership of this space by asking neighboring households,
bodegas, etc to adopt a planter in the site and look after its upkeep.
The installation will sport a mix of community, culture and art. If you are able to donate, please do so at the link in the bottom of the page. All funds raised will go straight into maintaining the project for the year or so it is meant to stay in place. Any help is greatly appreciated!!
