Visit storefrontlibrary.org to learn more about our latest project, the Chinatown Storefront Library. The Storefront Library will transform one of Boston’s vacant street-level spaces into a temporary public library, featuring readings, talks, screenings, and events. Coming Fall 2009.
We produce programs and installations that:
- put underutilized urban space to use,
- pilot civic and cultural programming ideas for cities so they can be experienced and evaluated today,
- foster a more robust public life and improve the city as a place to live.
- developing expertise in implementing programs in an urban environment,
- documenting and sharing expertise so others can do this work.
We partner with community groups, institutions, artists, and designers to conceive, develop, and produce projects that have an impact on urban communties. Our role can include:
- program conception and development
- identifying and securing space
- getting resources (funding, supplies, volunteers)
- site permitting and insurance
- outreach, partnerships, and public relations
- project management and other program operations
- evaluation and documentation
