Three major objectives
Create Art as a universal language for promoting peace and unity within the community. The core of this project is to create art with residents, youth and neighborhood leaders that represents unity, community, diversity and positivity. This art can be in the form of murals, performance art, music, digital art , etc. Malcolm McCrae will be leading a team of multi-disciplinary artists and community ambassadors to design, develop and deploy art projects that will echo universal metaphors of Peace & Unity.
​
ShareCollaboration is a key to making this project a success. By working with community ambassadors, local creatives and community leaders, we help empower and activate each site. Each site will have a community gathering component to showcase and celebrate the project. This will be a gallery night, block party, and/or live event open to the public. As we create these experiences, participants will be encouraged to share their ideas, visions and thoughts on how this program impacted their life. With the use of technology in wifi and social media, the opportunity for sharing will increase to help make a long term impact.
​
Grow Knowledge and food is the most important component to the success of Pollination Station. It is operated by mentors using science, technology and art to motivate and encourage personal growth. This experience will be produced using technology such as solar, live video streaming platforms and projection mapping. This learning platform will be engineered to help grow the impact of each site and community. With workshops and creative camps, the goal is to create sacred spaces that people will use to gather, create and grow ideas. ​
Summary
Our goal is to make this space affordable and accessible for everyone, and to make a lasting and positive change in the community through art.
The money raised will go towards equipment and supplies needed to support Pollination Station. Our goal is to create an immersive experience. Providing resources for artists, communities and youth to beatify, while investing in their neighborhoods, towns and cities. In most areas due to the lack of funding, most art programs are being eliminated. Our targeted areas are low income and poverty stricken, and culturally diverse areas that normally wouldn’t have the opportunities to experience this space. We will use Pollination Station to engage, uplift and unite these areas through creativity, collaboration and community support.
