The Public Safety forum, which is co-hosted by the NE Chamber of Commerce and 2PAC, will be held on Wednesday, May 8, 6 – 7:30 p.m. at the Firefighters Hall & Museum, 664 22nd Avenue NE. This family friendly event will offer the community an opportunity to welcome Inspector Kathy Waite to the Second Precinct, while also thanking Inspector Bryan Schafer (who now heads the First Precinct) for his past work. We will hear an overview of the current state of the precinct, the accomplishments under Insp. Schafer, and Insp. Waite’s vision for the future. The Second Precinct led the City in 2012 in declining rates of Burglary and Robbery, as well as the overall lowest Part I crime rate. Insp. Waite and Insp. Schafer will offer further detail about these impressive statistics and the programs and initiatives that have fostered them.
The Arts Economy forum, which is being co-hosted by Artshare, will be held on Monday, April 22, 7 – 8:30 p.m. at Chowgirls Parlor, 1222 2nd Street NE. Gulgun Kayim, the City’s Director of Arts, Culture and the Creative Economy will be a guest speaker, talking about the recently released Creative Vitality Index. The forum location was chosen because the Northeast Life Size Book is on display at Chowgirls Parlor for the month of April, before it moves to its permanent home at the Northeast Library. A project of Artshare, whose mission is to create shared art experiences for the Northeast community, the Northeast Life Size Book was created in a series of community workshops guided by artists Bridget O’Malley and Laura Brown. Jennifer Arave of Artshare will introduce the process and results of this collaboration between artists and community members, as well as offer some background on other shared art projects Artshare has led in Northeast, including the Parade Project and the NE Audio-Guided Walking Tours.
