The StoryLine Project
Piedmont Council of the Arts, The Bridge Progressive Arts Initiative, The Thomas Jefferson Center For the Protection of Free Expression and CCDC collaborated with Pete O’Shea once more to present the StoryLine Project. The 2010 StoryLine engaged Charlottesville Parks & Recreation campers and volunteers in collaborative mural design and storytelling inspired by a walking expedition of the historic Vinegar Hill neighborhood and Downtown Mall. Check out photos from the 2010 project here!
The 2009 Story|Line Project joined local artists and designers with young people (grades 4-6) in the Parks and Recreation Summer Camp to explore and interpret the places where they live. The project centered on a walking expedition of the neighborhoods of downtown Charlottesville, during which participants learned to use close observation and creative expression as a means of understanding spaces, places, and the stories that enrich them. The project culminated with a collaborative mural on the Community Chalkboard. A micro-exhibition to share and celebrate the project took place in August at the Bridge | Progressive Arts Initiative. Check out project photos here.
