02/02/2025 - Meeting updates

New ping pong club meets on Sunday mornings. Open to all. The Berlinders. Free coffee
Had a band (Kit) at Porchfest and was well received
Eric is doing periodic security at the park
Josh is on board to get a new lighting plan of some kind that will be more vandal proof. We also have some funds left from a grant earmarked for the park from this last year of around.
Porchfest motivated Lewis and I to move forward with trying to have bands and a little music series with food trucks a few times a year. We spoke with George Fontaine and David Barbe and they helped us find a music intern that could manage the music events. David posted a notice at we found one. Lewis, Kemp and I met her and she’s on board. She is a communications major and getting a music business certificate. She has done a booking agency internship in LA at Breaking Sound and one at the GA Theatre. New West is up for one of the dates for one of their bands. Tentative dates are April 4, April 25th and maybe one in May. We can have one show that focuses on bands in the neighborhood. Some of the kids in the neighborhood play in the Nuci’s Space Camp bands and they could open, etc. Lots of ideas. If we decide to keep it going, we could get sponsors.

02/02/2025 - Photos from Previous Events

Here are some photos from previous events that we have been collecting since the Triangle Park was completed in November 2019. You can find out more about the park in this news article on Online Athens.

The art park features both permanent and temporary exhibits. Even the entryway is a piece of art created by Mike Harboldt. One of the walls around the park is Krysia Ara’s mosaic called “Flow.” The first temporary sculpture is “Remembering” by Doug Makemson. Another art piece is a loaned bench Adam Kurtz made.
