Website Sign Project Points of Interest Allegheny Vacant Property Act    
A project based website that communicates our collective's mission through theory and practice. An open call for the construction of a lexicon of possibility and change. All are invited to submit weather durable signs which imagine creative transformation. The signs will be hung on the outside of the United Brethren Church during its renovation.
Call for Submissions 		Neglected or underutilized public spaces become points of interest through the collaborative effort of community members who will provide history and personal insight about each space, and visiting artists who will create site specific installations. To acquire the abandoned United Brethren Church and to provide a transparant model for the acquisition of abandoned properties in Braddock and North Braddock through the Allegheny Vacant Properties Act.    
A website that clearly communicates what we do and how we do it to the Braddock/North Braddock community, arts communities, funders,
etc.		 A visually interesting and diverse exploration of new modes of making and living that will generate interest in the United Brethren space and in BraddockActiveArts programming. Together, we re-imagine existing resources and discover latent possibilities, generating value in areas considered "blighted".
