Mapping Baybrook: Keeping Connections Alive

Logo: Something integrating the water tower.

Mission Statement: Providing a collaborative gathering between generations in community space to remember the past, connect with the present, and preserve for the future.

            Artwork is something people of all ages like to look at and be recognized for. Working with the community to give people a connection that will make them want to preserve would help the community help itself. By creating panels of community made artwork, paintings or collages, and cleaning up the area around the community garden people will feel that they actually have an attachment to the community. Each panel would be a piece of plywood that is one foot by one foot. People designing the panels have a choice to bring in photos they don’t mind attaching to the board, paint their panel or a combination of both. These panels will then be sealed when they dry and hung along the fence of the community garden. In order to participate in the panel design the person will either have to help clean up the area around the garden, help in the garden, or pay $5.

Committee: To complete this project there will need to be groups for: table saw, cutting panels; grounds crew, cleanup and gardening; paint crew, supply the paint and clean paint brushes; and the finishing crew, seal and hang artwork on fence.

Revenue: Selling t-shirts and buttons at the event. Donation buckets around town in local Mom and Pop stores. Buckets are around $2 at Michaels.

Budget: On Spread Sheet

Feasibility: This project is something people of all ages can participate in. It is an event that can be completed in one day. The money needed to complete the project is less then the cost of the materials. The outcome of this project is that the younger generations have something to connect them to in the future and the older generation has something to connect their past to.
