End the BAN ON +3 PEOPLE DANCING W/O LICENSE
#LETNYCDANCE #CommunityDriven
◯ Transparency of MARCH program ◯
M.A.R.C.H: Multi-Agency Response to Community Hotspots unites the Police, Fire Dept, Dept of Buildings, Liquor Authority on a single strike to economically force spaces out of business. Community Hotspots should be nurtured, not targeted. How does MARCH choose targets?
#ImproveDontEvict #CommunityDriven
ACCESS TO SUPPORT
Independent creative communities are a thriving informal economy excluded from vital government and philanthropic support.
◯ Confidential Cultural Caseworkers: Permitting & Liability ◯
Build trust. Hire artists as confidential caseworkers to help New Yorkers navigate bureaucratic hurdles to thrive safely.
#AnonCasework #CommunityDriven
◯ Establish an Urgent Repairs Fund ◯
Create a fund that resolves urgent safety and code compliance issues for #CommunityDriven Spaces. In the past year, Denver and Oakland have committed to such funds. The application process should not be so resource intensive as to exclude those who need it the most.
#NYCSafetyFund #CommunityDriven
PROMOTE AFFORDABILITY
Having artists and art spaces in the same building is economically essential.
◯ Expand the Loft Law ◯

Heavy duty pattern cutting work table - $150 (Bushwick Brooklyn)
This cutting table is so sturdy, I can stand on it!
The size, 48"x78" is ideal for patternmaking for fashion or other large format work.
The height is adjustable from 32"-38", see the photo of the leg to see how that works.
There is an optional shelf that is about 1/3 the size of the table top (see photograph of the table broken down).
Culture Push Fellowship for Utopian Practice
Culture Push, is an NYC-based arts non-profit, whose Fellowship for Utopian Practice program supports artists developing civically engaged projects.
They recently announced their open call for the Spring 2017 Fellowship with a deadline of April 19th.
Culture Push launched the Fellowship for Utopian Practice in 2012 to support boundary-pushing, interdisciplinary and socially engaged artwork.
Our current Fellows are studying the spatial dimension of civil resistance; empowering black women and girls to articulate their own experiences; devising performative interventions that examine Puerto Rican identity on the island and in New York; leading dance-based foraging walks in Red Hook that allow participants to understand the cultural and ecological role of wild urban plants; catalyzing workshops and informal performances where individuals with non-traditional art backgrounds can meet and create together; and organizing a national participatory story exchange around the topic of incarceration as a way that communities can reimagine justice.
