Since you asked, our twin taglines point to two distinct operational tracks for Mattapan Cultural Arts Development: on one hand, "Climbing as we build" relates to our push to build a cultural arts center where art can happen in Mattapan; on the other hand, "Making Art Happen in Mattapan" presents a constant reminder of our ultimate goal.
We'll spend the next few months cultivating a community of stakeholders: from the inside out--inviting Mattapan residents, public officials, property owners and businesses into a conversation about what it would mean if Mattapan were an arts destination; and from the outside in--importing the necessary skill sets and expertise to design and develop a complex, mixed-use, LEED-certified building as a focal point for the arts in Mattapan.
In the meantime we're surveying Mattapan youth and families to assess the need for what kinds of art, while cultivating a network of artists and arts organizations interested in bringing arts programs to Mattapan.
