CONCEPT STATEMENT
Based on the idea that art is not just a static object, but a dynamic and ever-changing entity that evolves over time. Like a living organism, art has the ability to adapt, grow, and transform in response to its environment and the influences that shape it.
An “Art Island” as the central feature in the middle of the space, is designed to inspire creativity and collaboration among artists. The “Art Island” is also designed with movable elements, such as partitions, furniture, and equipment, that can be rearranged and reconfigured to suit different activities and events.
Overall, the artistic community center will be a dynamic, flexible, and sustainable space that fosters creativity, collaboration, and community.
MISSION STATEMENT
The intension is to create a community center that celebrates and supports artists in all eight fine arts: painting, sculpture, music, dance, theater, literature, architecture, and film. Each of these art forms deserves equal attention and recognition, and the center aims to provide a space where artists can come together to share their passions, collaborate on projects, and inspire one another.
The community center will be a welcoming and inclusive space that encourages creativity and experimentation. It will offer a variety of workshops, classes, and events that cater to artists of all levels and backgrounds, from beginners to professionals.
In addition to providing opportunities for artistic growth, The community center will also be a hub for cultural exchange. The center will provide a platform for artists to showcase their work, collaborate with artists, and connect with community members.
SITE ANALYSIS & CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT
The community at the EAST VILLAGE is formed by the several community gardens in the region. CHARAS, as the central major figure, could be an ideal location for bringing together various communities. CHARAS will then become a center for communication, sharing, and living.
