Anyone briefly strolling through this park will likely hear the sound of a brass band and see local artists scattered along the sidewalk.

Yesterday, a lovely article came out in the local paper about what we're trying to do to become a thriving community hub. Lots more on this in the months to come, but I thought you might like to read the article.

Work-life balance. But first, a brief history of “the office” as a concept. University of Technology Research Fellow, Augustin Chevez and Senior Lecturer, DJ Huppatz note one early example of the office in classical art: Botticelli’s “Saint Augustine in His Study,” painted all the way back in 1480. Work-life balance.

It’s a subtle difference: Here’s what it can look like in real life. Did a local family get much-needed groceries? Telling someone they helped a student pay for an art class, for example, is more effective than telling them they helped pay for 35 students to take an art class. Did an abandoned kitten get a new home?

Even though there aren’t as many people today reading actual newspapers or watching the 6 o’clock news these days, your local media still reaches a large audience of people in your community who need to know about your nonprofit’s work. It’s part art and part science. Reach out to the media with a local angle on a national story.

His return address was a NY prison.

This summer, we opened two exhibitions at my museum that are highly relevant to local culture. Princes of Surf is about the young Hawaiian princes who brought surfing to the Americas 130 years ago--relevant because they did it in Santa Cruz, with boards shaped from local wood, on waves I bike by every week. Killer content.

When I think about what my grandparents ate, and what their parents ate, they ate food that was as fresh as being harvested that day, as local as their backyard garden, and as seasonal as whatever was in season. Harris, often says, "African-American cuisine is simply what black folks ate." They were sharing food and bartering.
