HELP DEVELOP STRATEGY FOR PATERSON'S ART FACTORY
The Historic Paterson Art Factory is a vibrant center for filmmaking, artist residencies, and the creative economy for the New York Metropolitan area. This post-industrial campus is an anchor for the arts and cultural programming and an invaluable resource for creators, innovators, and collaborators looking to sharpen their craft. But how can this beautiful relic of Paterson’s industrial history be used to connect, engage, and enhance its surrounding neighborhoods?
Join us as we explore ways in which the campus of the Art Factory can be transformed to better serve and reflect the communities of Paterson, NJ through creative placemaking tactics and techniques. NCCP’s Strategy Labs employ tools such as tactical urbanism, site-specific event programming, and long-term strategies to reimagine the use of an underused space within a community. Come explore these methods and more through hands-on charrettes, open discussions, and engaging workshops. Contribute your own ideas and experiences to this cultural gem within the heart of this dynamic and diverse city. Free
