FIll BRICKS AND TREES FROM THE GROUND UP FABRIC TRANSFORMATION BUILDING BLOCKS TOGETHER Our goal is to organize, coordinate and capitalize on Newark’s social capital Just as a strong family network is the building block of a community, the brick “When we come together there’s nothing we can’t create.” not just to build one-off “Gateways” on its periphery, but to transform its and the tree are the building blocks of the city. Newark is still known as Brick —Mayor Cory A. Booker interior social and urban fabric. Newark can’t be defined by an outline or city. Not just because it’s made of brick but because of the admirable way disparate “points of entry” because its edge is too diffuse to remember, and Newark turned the arrangement of a simple module and hard work into a The building blocks of Newark are bricks, trees and people. Arranging brick because many of its key gateways happen inside the city. Newark is bordered city. We propose the introduction of a second building block, the tree and after brick builds a city, planting tree after tree initially creates a line of by diverse conditions and is diverse inside, so it’s a bit hard to know when you an inspirational plan on how to build with it.

To strengthen its identity, Newark needs definition and presence ing block, Newark citizens and local businesses and communities can improve today’s economy and municipal budget cuts, N-Tree provides a framework of and place. What makes a place? A place is defined by its people, its built their environment, increase the value of their city, and put Newark on the map understanding that can bring together public investment & private initiatives, fabric, and its spirit. Our proposal is a green framework that will give as the resilient and inventive city it is. The goal is not to replace bricks with community improvement groups & citizens, after-school programs & activities, definition to Newark’s fabric. In a city without edges, it can best be defined trees, the urban with the natural, but to strike a balance where one improves contractors & job seekers, creating the most powerful urban gesture of all: through a “fill” condition that reinforces historic geometries and new scales the other, bringing communities together and creating jobs and local pride an invested, activated community. of movement. How can we do this collectively, cheaply, together? Let’s get in the process. The “tree-ways” that will line Newark’s roads, cross its empty back to basics! The simplest way to mark a place is to organize planted form. spaces, and connect its important sites, will act as both gateways to the city That is our proposal: N-Tree. and as a recognizable symbol of The City of Newark.

    Weequahic’s MARQUIS “BO” PORTER, 1990, named new manager of the Houston Astros Major League baseball team By Brian McTaggert, MLB.com With the Houston Astros about to embark on a new era that will include a move to the American League, a new color scheme and new uniforms next season, the team on September 27th revealed the man it wants to lead the players into the new frontier. The Astros named Bo Porter to become their 17th manager at a news conference at Minute Maid Park. The 40-year-old Porter, a resident of Houston, was the 3rd base coach for the Nationals in 2012. The chance to manage the Astros is a dream come true for Porter, whose wife, Stacie, grew up in Houston. The family has lived in the area for many years, and Jim Crane, Houston’s President, said he got several recommendations from Houston-area baseball people. “I'm completely honored,” Porter said in a conference call. “It starts at the top with Jim Crane. He's putting together a great leadership team, and I'm honored to be part of that leadership team.

Pony Dance Theatre, Long Box Image courtesy of Pony Executive Summary For the sixth consecutive year, SMU DataArts, the National Center for Arts Research, is pleased to provide the Arts Vibrancy Index Report, which draws upon a set of data-informed indices to recognize arts-vibrant communities across the United States. We acknowledge and honor the fact that the COVID-19 pandemic and recent racial and social justice uprisings have altered U.S. communities in unparalleled ways since 2019, the year that data in this report draws upon. Arts and cultural organizations across the country were forced to close their doors in March 2020 due to COVID-19. Few have reopened and it is still uncertain when the remainder will be able to follow suit as of the publication of this year’s report. Many arts organizations in forced closure have adapted and served their communities’ needs in innovative ways in response to stay-at-home orders, new norms of social distancing, and protests. So why report on arts vibrancy from a pre-pandemic time? At a moment of such considerable environmental hostility and uncertainty about the future, we offer this report as a celebration and reminder of the arts’ enduring importance, resiliency, and vibrancy.

  • The Top 20 Arts-Vibrant Large Communities
    (/) Arts Vibrancy 2020 Top 20 Large Communities The Top 20 Arts-Vibrant Large Communities Here you will nd details and proles on the top 20 arts-vibrant communities with population of 1,000,000 or more. The rankings on the metrics and measures range from a high of 1 to a low of 947 since there are 947 unique MSAs and Metro Divisions. We offer insights into each community’s arts and cultural scene and report rankings for Arts Providers, Arts Dollars, and Government Support, as well as the rankings of the underlying measures. Subtle distinctions often emerge that illuminate particular strengths. Again, in determining the ranking, we weight Arts Providers and Arts Dollars at 45% each and Government Support at 10%. The two Metro Divisions that make up the larger Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, DC-VA-MD-WV, MSA — Washington- Arlington-Alexandria, DC-VAMD-WV and Frederick-Gaithersburg-Rockville, MD — made the list for the sixth year in a row. By contrast, Chicago-Naperville-Arlington Heights, IL, was the only one of four Metro Divisions of the Chicago-Naperville- Elgin, IL-IN-WI, MSA, to make the list each of the past six years. Chicago appears to have high arts vibrancy in the urban core that is less prevalent in the surrounding areas. The dispersion of arts vibrancy has increased over the years for the larger MSAs of Philadelphia-Camden-Wilmington, PA- NJ-DE-MD, New York-Newark- Jersey City, NY-NJ-PA, and San Francisco-Oakland-Berkeley, CA. More of the Metropolitan Divisions that constitute these three, large MSAs have made the list over time.
