RESEARCH ​
​​TCA is surveying and documenting fact sheets on topics pertaining to Newark's history, community make-up, legal procedures, and arts landscape. This knowledge will help TCA staff engage deeply with community members in conversations, direct questions and fuel areas for future research.

PLANNING MEETINGS
​TCA holds semi-weekly planning meetings to collaboratively create framing and decision-making tools to ensure full participation in planning process and the execution of the project as a whole. 

PUBLIC COMMUNITY MEETINGS
Meetings will engage a larger network of artists and community stakeholders to contribute to the project by responding to the prompt through visual art, live spoken word, and live discussion.

OVERVIEW
​After recruitment is completed, over a series of four meetings, the CCC will make decisions on the following topics: artistic content, the project’s location, medium, duration of exhibition, and other considerations, using the framing and decision-making tools developed in this project. Through four group meetings covering the following areas:

MEETING #1
​What are the arts and aesthetics that have come out of the War On Drugs in Newark?

MEETING #2
​Creative place making in Newark. The good, the bad, the ugly (how have people tried to beautify Newark and ways in which they were harmful, or have been beneficial and Why?)

MEETING #3
​Conceptualizing the art piece with the artists. Using the conversations and desires expressed in the CCC meetings, the Key Artists/Organizations will scout locations that achieve the aesthetic and symbolic intentions of the community. Lead Artists will draft a blueprint for the piece and present it to the CCC for feedback and to vote for final approval of the design and location approval (considering fee, permits, and licenses).

MEETING #4
​Final selection of public art pieces and logistics for presentation.​​

TOOLKIT FABRICATION
​TCA will create a toolkit for galvanizing community stakeholders to change perception, build relationships, and foster representational storytelling through public arts and strategic arts engagement. As part of the post-session survey distributed to cohort members, TCA will implement a measure that will ask cohort members to rate TCA’s success in achieving each session’s goal of facilitating conversation, boosting collaboration, and developing small-group community engagement through artistic strategies.
