H LLO
ELEVATE Curator Info Session

2. Talking Points Overview Budget Requirements Considerations Locations
Q&A

3. Overview October 13th - October 21st Goals: Survey results:
Instigate positive urban growth
Enliven, accentuate, and improve built environment
Interact meaningfully w/ community
Survey results:
More local & interactive
3D & Multidisciplinary
Who has been to all the ELEVATE programs?
Favorite?
Proposals that speak to the mission and goals of ELEVATE will receive greatest attention
SURVEY Result:
Least favorite = 2-D
Less workshops/panel discussions.
However, there is a need for workshops and it’s a great place to recognize local arts leaders so while it is not desired OCA feels that they are necessary to bring attention to arts organizations and leaders.

4. Budget Per artwork: Curator: Max $10,000 Approximately 280 work hours
Creation
Installation
De-installation
Curator:
Approximately 280 work hours
Compensation based on experience
Give yourself a safety net. Over budget for items so that OCA will be able to cover all the proposed items.
The more artwork under 10K will ensure that all pieces are included in the program.
At least 15 works should be proposed. 20 works is ultimate goal.
Being under the total artwork budget would be great!
Curator payment = Half payment beginning and remaining balance after event close

5. Requirements Original theme & concept Utilization of survey results
Educational programming
30% GA art
Identified locations
Timeline of performances/events
Weekly meetings
Community engagement activities
An original theme that will drive the promotion of the event and be distinctly different from the previous ELEVATE themes
Take survey results from this presentation and incorporate them into your overall curatorial plan
Programming that speaks to education, children, arts and economic development (this might be covered by panel discussions/workshops)
To ensure that ELEVATE remains relevant to GA residents and artists there is a minimum requirement for local artists
20 total, THEN minimum of 6 from GA
Have prospective locations identified within the proposal
Consider times for performances that would attract greatest numbers to the performance/event (weekday lunch hour, after 6pm, OR on the weekend)
Mandatory weekly meetings with myself and OCA staff
Community engagement activities that will help you understand what the communities and neighborhoods in the area want from ELEVATE

6. Considerations All ages Challenges for sites
Collaborations & partnerships
Light-sensitive works
Consider the challenges of proposed artwork sites and suggested locations
Partnerships and collaborations (e.g. Goat Farm collaboration during ELEVATE 2014 – Dumpster project)
Consider light-sensitive works: which works will be visible during the day or only at night (e.g. light projections)
Spread works accordingly

7. Considerations Performance space Collaborations Light sensitive
Marta 5 Points theatre space would be a great location for a performance
Clark Atlanta’s Museum and Tina Dunkley organized Street Museum which brightened a bleak street in downtown Atlanta
Light sensitive
Placement

8. Locations
Focus locations on areas between 5 Points MARTA station, Hurt Park, and Garnett Station. Emphasis on Broad St. SW
