April 11 - Zoom meeting and strategy presentation
On April 11, a second meeting took place - this time by Zoom. The purpose was to discuss immediate and longterm strategies for building a creative network (aka cultural ecosystem) in Malden. Here is a link to the recording
and link to slide presentation
First Meeting March 1, 2024 - draft in process of being updated
A first meeting with 18 individuals offered a wonderful glimpse into a common desire to connect and be part of a thriving multicultural community, a plethora of ideas and initial projects we could work on, and the need to be strategic and organized in our process to really accomplish something wonderful together.
Takeaways from our meeting:
Creative Malden will be the coordinating entity of this emerging network.
People are wondering about the Center for Arts and Culture progress. Anne updated us that they have finished a feasibility study. Action: Masha will write an article about the status of the Center for Arts and Culture and publish it in Neighborhood View
We agreed to meet in a month and use that next meeting to check in on progress in some preliminary steps, decide on other projects and delegate them to subcommittees. I tentatively scheduled that meeting for April 11, 7 to 8:30pm. Location TBD.
A theme of being resourceful and not waiting for the city to make progress emerged.
