Things we need for the SPACE
30 second videos to catch attention and imagination, train a "visitor" how to create their own, and the "vistor" train the next, and so on. Add videos to the blog site.
Internet access.
Generic email address/password.
Signs along the hallway asking the question "what are you thinking".
Artists along the hallway, working on some creative work, to ask the question, "what would you do with this space", and directing them where to stick it.
Markers with the LISC logo which should be created by an Russell artist, and printed on the markers as a give away.
Sticky notes that say "Here's another a great idea".
Use a Russell printer to donate, and receive a tax credit for their donation of markers/stickies/signs using the 501.
Art donated to the space by the local artists, and would be used to benefit a local charity, and they could benefit from a tax credit through the 501.
Social Capital
Coordination of all of the art works.
Forms
501 representative to fill out the forms.
Art Raffle, again proceeds to benefit a local charity, and the artist's benefit from a tax credit through the 501.
