We haven't heard much. Just an email with a link indicating that this has been "blessed by City Hall".
There is a survey... not sure what kind of useful statistics they will actually collect.
"Businesses that advertise, such as art galleries and restaurants, will be specifically mapped for the project from publically available resources."
Dear Cultural, Neighborhood, and Business
Organizations:
You have been identified as a crucial asset to the City’s
cultural communities. We ask that you send the message below to your email
distribution list so that we may truly have an accurate representation of
culture bearers and creators throughout New Orleans. We also are eager for your
organization to participate in the C4 mapping project. If you have any
questions, please feel free to contact me. See below for a prepared message for
to send out, details on the project, and how to participate:
Here is the email:
Dear Friends,
Businesses, and Organizations Working, Living and Practicing Culture in New
Orleans:
The Claiborne
Corridor Cultural Collaborative (C4) is a mapping project of the City of New
Orleans Mayor’s Office of Cultural Economy, funded by the National Endowment for
the Arts. The map is an essential first step towards establishing a knowledge
and asset-based creative place-making tool. Local Architecture and Planning
firm, Perez, APC, has been hired to conduct the work.
As a member of New
Orleans' formal or informal cultural community, you have a unique opportunity,
through the C4 Mapping Project, to stake your ground.
Please visit the C4
website to get more information, see sample maps in-progress and –
most importantly – to take a brief survey on the cultural work you
do. Completing the
survey will ensure your presence on the map. For those answering the survey
as individuals, all responses are anonymous.
