The final step in creating the mural like to feel there's a stronger ownership by the community, a place to go to hang out, eat lunch, enjoy public art, music events and festivals." Foreman said she considers Main Street to be the center of both the town and the community, something the NAA would like to contribute to. "We'd like everybody to feel like there's a presence beyond the stores - not like they' re the enemy, but we' d like it to be more than just shopping," she said. Foreman said another NAA focus is to bring art to as many people in as many ways possible. "We embrace all. arts, music, visual arts, literary arts, from all ages and classes," she said. "We'd like to make art really inviting, especially for those who never participate." Foreman said they try to get those who may never go into an art gallery to come to the art house for its friendly atmosphere and casualness. The alliance also works with the City of Newark to liven up Main Street's appearance. One exhibit of their work is the trashcan on Main Street, which showcase children's ~ork on.the side panels. "The trash cans were the city's idea," she aid. ''Then we had kids and high-schoolers create designs. ''They were even paid a little for them, plus they got to see their artwork in a public place." Foreman said the NAA's involvement with the city has had an important impact on Newark's sense of community. "Art is a nice way to do that," she said. "We don't really have a town square, so I think having art in any way downtown makes people feel welcome and comfortable being there and encourages people to meet other people." Maureen Feeney Roser, .assistant planning director for the City of Newark, said the Newark Arts Alliance has done a great job in bringing arts to the forefront of the community. She said the city is very supportive of the NAA and their initiatives. "They came and asked for our support with the Downtown With the Arts program in October," she said. "There's a lot of interaction between the city and the arts alliance - they're a great catalyst for downtown." Some programs the NAA has sponsored include the Delaware Dance Festival, the Holiday Art Market and a variety of art demonstrations and classes throughout the year, said Foreman. They work mainly out of the Art House on Delaware A venue and the Art WareHouse in the Market East Look for the Plaza on Main Street. Dragonfly Leathrum, designer of many of Newark's downtown Guaranteed murals, is a member of the NAA' s Advisory Committee and helps run Buyback Sticker to save even part of Downtown With the Arts. She said she thinks the Arts more money! Alliance has definite ly had an impact on the atmosphere of downtown Newark. "lt's just made it friendly, not as run-down looking," she said. "It's really more interesting, more colorful - it looks like it's a more prosperous area, more welcoming." Leathrum said the NAA is one of the only reasons she still resides in Newark. "I grew up in Newark, but moved ITYoF 19 times after graduating," she said. "But I ended up back here, because of the arts alliance." Because the NAA is a non-profit organization, they do re ly on EIAWARE funding from other organi zations and individuals. f~follett.
