Exhibitions Available for Touring
The Ewing Gallery of Art and Architecture has a number of exhibitions available for tour to other venues. If you are interested in hosting one of these exhibitions at your gallery, please send an email inquiry to ewing@utk.edu for more information.
Life in the City showcases Joseph Delaney's mastery of a wide variety of media, including oil paintings, pen and ink drawings, charcoal sketches, and pastel portraits and watercolors. The exhibition explores Joseph's love for the urban environment and his interest in depicting the human figure as participant within the built environment of New York City.
Joseph Delaney was born in Knoxville in 1904. He and his older brother, Beauford, discovered their interest in art by drawing on Sunday School cards. In 1930, Joseph left Tennessee for New York where Beauford was also working as an artist, and enrolled in the Art Students League under the tutelage of Thomas Hart Benton and Alexander Brooke. The subject matter he found there, including the city's landmarks and its people, are the images for which he is best known. In 1986, Delaney returned to Knoxville to live and was artist-in-residence for the University of Tennessee Art Department until his death in 1991. Delaney's works are included in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Chicago Art Institute, The Knoxville Museum of Art, and The Smithsonian American Art Museum.
Life in the City includes 72 framed paintings and works on paper from the permanent collection of the Ewing Gallery of Art + Architecture.

Richard J. LeFevre's Civil War Series presents the history of the United States Civil War (1861 – 1865) through works on paper that depict 32 of the war's most significant battles. By combining his love of history and his skill as an illustrator, LeFevre used inventive mixed-media techniques to create these powerful images inspired by his personal investigation into that terrible and definitive era.
He sought to authenticate the audience experience by incorporating images from period publications such as Harper's Weekly and Leslie's Illustrated. Century-old woodcut engravings, made from sketches by Civil War artists who were present at the battles, were flash-framed onto paper with a copier and then manipulated with watercolor, pencil, and collage techniques.
Salvador Dali: The Divine Comedy
From 1951-1960, the artist Salvador Dali worked to complete a suite of watercolors illustrating Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy to celebrate the 700th birthday of the Italian poet. Later, master printers would work to generate wood blocks to reproduce and publish Dali's original paintings.
This is the complete series of Dali's 100 prints illustrating Dante's Divine Comedy.
In 1942, the Army Corps of Engineers relocated James Edward Westcott to Oak Ridge, Tennessee, and assigned him the task of official photographer for the Manhattan Project – a massive wartime effort to produce the first atomic bomb. As secrecy of the project was paramount, the "atomic" city was fenced, and communication with the outside world was limited. What is more, no cameras were allowed inside its boundaries.
The Golden Age of American Illustration: Walter Haskell Hinton
Walter Haskell Hinton (1886-1980) was an American Illustrator during the "Golden Age" of illustration from about 1910 through the 1940s. Over the course of his career, Hinton generated ad images for The Saturday Evening Post, John Deere, Fairmont Railways, Washington National Insurance Company, Austin-Western, and Orange Crush soda. He also created the cover images for many issues of Outdoor Life, Sports Afield, and Western pulp magazines. This exhibition focuses on his work-in-progress watercolor illustrations for these popular magazine covers.
American Abstract Artists Digital Portfolios
The 75th Anniversary American Abstract Artists Print Portfolio, a exhibition consisting of 48 archival digital prints. AAA published its first portfolio in 1937. It consisted of 30 lithographs and, in lieu of a catalog, accompanied the group's first exhibition, which was held at the Squibb Gallery in New York City. In addition to that first portfolio and this 75th Anniversary portfolio, only two others have been published—one commemorating the organization's 50th anniversary, and one for the 60th. All prints are 9.75″ x 12.75″
In 2019, partly as an addendum to the 2012 portfolio exhibition, for exhibition purposes, and as an opportunity to showcase the work of recent AAA members (as well as earlier members who did not participate in the 2012 portfolio), American Abstract Artists published the 2019 Monoprint Portfolio. It is made up of twenty-five prints, one per artist, sized at 9.75 x 12.75 inches, horizontally, or 12.75 x 9.75, vertically.

Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer: Norman Rockwell
This small exhibition includes 16 framed lithographs from the permanent collection of the Ewing Gallery. These prints were produced in the 1970s, and were based on original illustrations by Norman Rockwell for the 1935 editions of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn, released by Heritage Press and Limited Editions Club Books.
Images of Human Rights
The South African Bill of Rights was born out of a long struggle against racial segregation and human rights violations. Until the first democratic election in 1994, the majority of South Africans had been excluded from participating in the political process. Talks in the early 1990s between political prisoner Nelson Mandela and then South African leader F.W. De Klerk ultimately led to free elections and a new government which aimed to respect the rights of all its citizens. Images of Human Rights features 29 prints, created by artists representing the nine provinces of South Africa. The portfolio was printed by master printmaker Jan Jordaan. The print portfolio was conceived of and released in 1996 by the Images of Human Rights Portfolio Committee.
El Color De La Diaspora
This exhibition of 41 black and white photographs is drawn from the collections of the Fondo Documental Afro-Andino and the Universidad Andina Simon Bolivar. El Color de la Diaspora: Afro-Ecuadorian Images endeavors to show, in visual form, elements of the lived Diaspora among Black peoples in Ecuador and match them with collected oral testimonies. Through the presentation of the black and white photographs taken over a 30-year period in the regions of Esmeraldas and the Chota Valley by two Afro-Ecuadorian photographers — Juan Garcia and Edizon Leon, both of who are from the communities represented — the exhibit offers a shift in focus.
Walker Evans' photographs made for James Agee's classic work, Let Us Now Praise Famous Men, served as the culmination of Evans' talents as well as the realistic portrayal of the conditions of the American tenant farmer during the 1930s. Walker Evans' images revolutionized the standards of documentary photography.
This exhibition includes 50 framed photographs printed by the Library of Congress from Evans' original negatives.

The ocean view from my bedroom window and from the front yard of the property was amazing! It was so beautiful and calm! I liked the rustic aspect of the B&B with original furniture and decoration.

Cramped bathroom. Also the floor above was so creaky every step above us could be heard to the point it woke us up and I thought there was someone else in the room. Saying that it is a very charming but old house and not sure there is much can be done to alleviate the problem. Maybe just request an upstairs room.
Nothing comes immediately to mind.
Interesting old home with a lot of history. Owners were friendly and helpful. Beds were comfy. Breakfast was good - possibility a bit over-rated in many of the reviews.
Amenities not as good as other b&b's stayed at. Very small room.
Very nice hosts. Good location.
It is an old wooden hiuse -he floor above us was very squeaky when other guests walked in their room. The bathroom was tiny, hard to move inside it. I missed some protein at breakfast which was almost exclusively sweet. Wifi a bit unstable.
The hosts were very nice and booked activities for us in advance. Centrally lcated and parking availablle. Great coffee and homemade sweets for breakfast.
Nice bath tub. No stand up shower.
My suite was supposed to be a 2 bedroom suite, but there was only one double bed and a sofa bed which was very uncomfortable and squeaky! The breakfast is included in the price, but it is not served until after 7 am so we missed it because we had to leave at 6:30 am. It would have been nice if the B&B had at least some coffee ready earlier.


I THINK YOUR RIGHT WE ARE AT THAT POINT NOW I BLAME THE GOVERNMENT AND THE MEDIA, FOR MISLEADING THE PUBLIC ON THE ENVIRONMENTAL DISASTERS WE ALL FACE VERY SHORTLY, KEEPING EVERYONE FOCUS ON THE ECONOMIC DI STATER, SO WHEN THIS FALLS UPON US WHAT THEY GOING TO DO KEEP QUITE AGAIN, JET OFF TO A SUNNY PART FOOLS. THE WHOLE WORLD IS NOW AT RISK.SOME PEOPLE NEED TO BE MOVED AWAY FROM AREAS WHICH ARE UNSAFE, WE ARE JUST GOING TO HAVE MORE EARTHQUAKES FLASH FLOODS AND MORE SINK HOLES [MANY] MILLION[S] DEAD BEFORE PEOPLE WAKE UP. ITS HAPPENING NOW.

Q: Filter data on blank cell I am looking for a way to filter out empty cell data from my grid, I have implemented sorting, I am able to get all the blank cell at one place, but it would be great if any kind of filtering is possible on blank cells.
What I was thinking (theoretical), that if we could map the empty cell with some kind of expression e.g. {blank}{`}, anything of that sort then maybe the filtration is possible. But have no idea how to implement that.

A: function filter(item) {
                for (var columnId in columnFilters) {
                    if (columnId !== undefined && columnFilters[columnId] !== "") {
                        var c = grid.getColumns()[grid.getColumnIndex(columnId)];
                        if (item[c.field] !== undefined)
                        {
                            if (item[c.field].toString().toLowerCase().search(columnFilters[columnId].toLowerCase()) === -1) {
                                return false;
                            }
                        } else if(columnFilters[columnId] === "#blank")
                        {
                            return true;
                        } else
                            return false;

                    }
                }
                return true;
            }

adding this line "else if(columnFilters[columnId] === "@"){return c;}"
got me all the blank cells (that do not have any data), cell property = "undefined". By typing '@' in the search box all the blank cells get filtered.

La Nuit des vampires est le  de la série de bande dessinée Ric Hochet.

Résumé
Ric est invité à Chapman Castle en Angleterre pour la Nuit de Walpurgis. Un siècle plus tôt, un homme, Derek Devill, accusé de vampirisme, est abattu devant le château mais son corps disparaît. Un peu plus tard, Carter Chapman, auteur de romans policiers, est attaqué par un loup qu'il blesse en lui enfonçant un poignard. On retrouve peu après le corps de Devill transpercé du même poignard.

Lord Austin Chapman pense que des événements surnaturels vont avoir lieu, 100 ans après cette histoire. Il a rassemblé pour la nuit plusieurs personnalités du paranormal. Parmi elles, son cousin Alistair Devill, le descendant de Derek, acteur qui joue le rôle de Dracula.

La nuit est agitée : un être pénètre dans la chambre de Ric par la cheminée et repart de même en y disparaissant, Alistair erre dans la nuit et fait exploser un miroir derrière lequel on découvre un vieux manuscrit relatant des faits remontant 200 ans plus tôt, avec les ancêtres des mêmes protagonistes, Ric découvre un passage secret et se fait attaquer par un mannequin de cire. Plusieurs autres agressions et événements mystérieux se passent. Alistair prétend avoir été empoisonné. Lors de la nuit suivante, Ruth, une invitée, disparaît. On sort à sa recherche dans la nuit et l'orage et on trouve un homme déguisé que Lord Austin tue. C'est Alistair. Ric veut partir prévenir la police mais a un accident. Tous les véhicules ont été sabotés et on doit attendre le matin. Mais pendant la nuit, Ric surprend une sorte de messe noire autour du cadavre d'Alistair : Ric démasque Lord Austin ainsi que le régisseur Peter Bruce qui avaient mis en scène cette histoire en s'aidant de la légende, pour s'approprier la fortune d'Alistair.

The Roswell Police Department is seeking the public's assistance in locating a suspect in a shooting that occurred Wednesday.
George Henry Alley, 20, is wanted on charges of two counts of aggravated battery and one count of aggravated assault in connection with the shooting of two 18-year-old males outside a residence in the 90 block of West Byrne Street in south Roswell around 5:30 a.m. Wednesday.
The two men sustained what are believed to be non-life-threatening wounds.
Alley is described as 5'10", weighing approximately 260 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes.
Anyone with potential information as to his whereabouts is asked to contact RPD at 624-6770 or, anonymously, Chaves County Crime Stoppers at 1-888-594-TIPS (8477).
Also Wednesday in south Roswell, the RPD was able to apprehend another man soon after a homicide.
Jesus Arreola, 35, was taken into custody shortly after a shooting that occurred around 11:30 p.m. Wednesday in front of a residence in the 1100 block of South Kentucky Avenue.
Arreola, of Portales but living recently in Roswell, is charged with second-degree murder.
Police found the victim, Johnny L. Fleming, 32, of Roswell, lying in his front yard with multiple gunshot wounds. He was transported by EMS to a local hospital, where he later died.

Sixth Annual Statewide Volunteer Day Saturday, April 28
Michael P. O'Connor
LINCOLN, MA — Enjoy a spring day outside while lending a hand at Mass Audubon's sixth-annual Statewide Volunteer Day Saturday, April 28. By joining hundreds of others in the 9 am-to-noon spring cleanup, participants can connect with nature and have fun while helping our wildlife sanctuaries get ready for the outdoor season.
Sixteen Mass Audubon wildlife sanctuaries from Cape Cod to the Berkshires will offer projects suitable for all ages and abilities. From kid-friendly work, such as planting seeds in a butterfly garden, to assisting with more strenuous activities, such as clearing and hauling brush, there's something for everyone.
And after a morning of hands-on work, volunteers are invited to bring a picnic lunch and explore the sanctuaries.
In 2011, more than 750 volunteers at 14 sites helped spruce up trails and gardens, haul brush, battle invasive species, put up bird houses, and pick up trash – making a real difference for people and wildlife.
For more information, call 781-259-2185. For a list of participating wildlife sanctuaries, visit www.massaudubon.org/workforwildlife.

Today, Mass Audubon is a nationally recognized environmental education leader, offering thousands of camp, school, and adult programs that get over 225,000 kids and adults outdoors every year. With more than 135,000 members and supporters, we advocate on Beacon Hill and beyond, and conduct conservation research to preserve the natural heritage of our beautiful state for today's and future generations.

Q: Check if string have specific number of symbols In trying to figure out how to do it with preg_match, but I'm left with no clue.
So what I'm trying is
$string = 'abc.hello.world.123.hola';

if ($string have 3 or more ".") {
    echo 'true';
}

A: I know you said preg_match, but there is a specific PHP function for this. Use substr_count() :)
$string = 'abc.hello.world.123.hola';
$dots = substr_count($string, '.');

echo $dots; // output: 4

Excel includes rudimentary database capabilities with a fairly decent data table capability. Unfortunately, while most modern database software is written to support data stored in tables, they, i.e., tables, are extremely human-unfriendly, indeed, human-hostile. After all, as anyone who has had cause to work with tabular data knows, entering reviewing, auditing, or otherwise working with data in a table like the one below is tedious and extremely error prone. Among the many problems, it is difficult to scan across the same row without inadvertently crossing over to some other row and it is difficult to know if some particular information is already in the table or if it has to be entered. And, once information is entered it is difficult to review or verify.
As anyone with even a rudimentary exposure to Computer Science knows a key principle behind the design of a good database system is the separation of data storage from the user interface. However, there are so many people -- too many by any measure -- who confuse the storage of data with the presentation of the data to the user. In many ways this is understandable since their only exposure to databases is through a spreadsheet program like Excel. And, unfortunately, such a program does nothing to educate them about the correct way to manage a database. If anything, it encourages poor database design. As a result, there are any number of business (and personal) users of Excel who create a 'solution' that is exactly what it shouldn't be -- data storage intricately intertwined with the user interface!
Have you -- and if you haven't it is very likely you know someone who has -- created a workbook in which a separate worksheet stored information about something -- say an employee? In that worksheet you might have a daily log of hours worked. At the end of the year, you create a new workbook and start over with the same structure. Or, maybe, you did that with the customers accounts? One workbook per customer with each worksheet representing each month's customer's dealings with your organization. Or maybe, you switched the design and had one workbook per year with each worksheet holding information about one particular client?
(e) analyze the data to track trends, or identify potential problems or new opportunities.
The correct data storage requires that all similar data be stored in a single table. So, information about all customers should be in a single table. Similarly, information about all incoming orders should be in a single table. For a very brief introduction see RDBMS in Excel or search Google.
While storing information in related tables is very computer-friendly, it is far from user-friendly. But is it a user interface? Actually, a table is downright ugly as a user interface, isn't it? And, in any case how does one perform any kind of integrity check on the data if users are allowed unfettered access to the raw data itself? Most systems develop a "form" to provide a user-friendly view of the data and to verify that additions or changes to the data adhere to corporate standards.
Unfortunately, there is no native mechanism in Excel to do that. The most that Excel supports is its "Data Form" capability, which incorporates no elegant formatting or validation capability. John Walkenbach also offers an enhanced version of Excel's data form.
Creating a custom solution of course, requires knowledge of VBA programming or hiring someone who will do the needful for you and that is both time consuming and potentially expensive.
Cost aside, it seems rather redundant to use VBA to build forms when we already have a very powerful tool at our disposal -- the Excel worksheet itself!
While Excel supports a "data validation" capability on a cell-by-cell basis, it's single biggest weakness is that anyone can destroy the validation specification by simply pasting the contents of another cell into it. And, no, disabling the ability to copy and paste would be so user-hostile that I would never consider such a possibility.


We go into another weekend. I remember few years back how weekend used to be fun. The whole family would load in our Innova and go to some place in Delhi or surrounding area. Four generations. Now its become such a dream. And even if it happens it gets killed by everyone on their smartphone. Chatting with friends and family miles away when the close ones are sitting together. Earlier there were three culprits – me and the boys and now after gifting Dad an iPhone, he is also added to the list. Because of these smartphone customers also expect me to respond instantly. This means continuously working. I dont remember having survived 2 hours without working. A survey says an average smartphone user checks his/her device 150 times a day or about once every 6 minutes.
Thanks to the smartphones, Everything is an emergency. An expectation is created in the society where everything is an emergency. This is unhealthy and unproductive. We are losing sleep, becoming dumber. It cant keep on going on like this. We need to unplug. Its funny people use apps to unplug. The simplest is to switch off. Now a days we have started to have a national day of unplugging which happens in March.
Blaming the smartphone or your employer is easy but its about self. Its about creating boundaries. Everyone has to do it. Trust me your career and life would be much better and happier.
We have to get out of "always on" era. Stepping away from smartphones, gadgets and web for few hours a day at least will not bring the roof down. Having lived in both generations I can confidently say I was better off, happier in older days. Feel guilty to have made my sons such indoor technology dependent smart "stupids".
One day a week completely unplugged with family is a target I have in front of me.

Sometimes we compose our earliest stories, without even realizing they are quietly being written inside us. I don't know where stories come from, but I do know how life shapes the stories we tell.
Both my parents are great readers and great story tellers and would always either have read to us, or told us stories, as children. I remember my father used to change the endings or edit some of the more unsavoury details of certain tales, to shield us from the truth about why Hansel and Gretel were left in the woods or to show how The Children of Lir had actually had a fantastic multi-destination holiday on Lake Derravarragh and then on to The Sea of Moyle!
But, in 1981, when I was eight years old my little brother died. Nobody could change that story. To a child of eight, death is unfathomable, even in stories – Grandma Hood, originally disemboweled and fed to little Red, is saved by the woodcutter. Snow White, waked in a glass coffin, kissed by a passing prince, is likewise resurrected! And they all live happily ever-after. To a child of eight, people don't die, goldfish swim away to sea, dogs go to farms, with big fields, down in Bunclody; little brothers, aged only two and three-quarters, especially, don't die.
The following month, we got a dog, the following Christmas, an Atari computer system. Eventually, we got a new little sister. The acquisition of new things, to make us forget, made little difference, when really what we needed was to remember, together; to say his name out loud; to play his favourite Fisher Price record; to take up his little denim jacket and cry, not to consign this terrible thing, this terrible loss, which had happened to us, to silence. So, we changed the subject. It wasn't talked about. And when something isn't talked about, over the years, it is never spoken of again.
Fast forward many years later. It is 2012. I am a teacher of English and Classical Studies at Gorey Community School, Co. Wexford. I am on maternity leave. I start writing. I enter as many competitions as I can. I win some, am short listed for others, longlisted for a few; sometimes I don't get so much as a mention! But that doesn't discourage me. I keep on writing. In 2014 I start studying for an MA in Creative Writing at MMU.
I wrote a short story called Stoppin' the Silence, based on an anonymous boy, who I called Jacob, four years ago. That story won the 2015 Francis McManus Award and it was this, more than anything else, that made all the difference to my writing career. As a result of the publicity around this award, three literary agents came knocking on my virtual door after hearing my story on the radio.
On Thursday 9th June 2016 I travel to London (Notting Hill, no less!) to meet Jenny Hewson of Rogers, Coleridge & White, Literary Agency. I sign contracts. I have an agent! Over the next two years, I work tirelessly. My short story Stoppin' the Silence grows into my debut novel, M for Mammy.
M for Mammy was built upon an image that had somehow developed in the dark room of my imagination. There is a child, with dark hair. I can only see the back of his head, not his face. He is being driven away. I know he isn't coming back. I stand on the footpath, waving goodbye. Everything and everybody become silent. In a way, the novel is about silence, or in it, I am writing against the silence. I'm not entirely sure.
On Tuesday 11th April 2017 my agent sells my manuscript to Two Roads at Hachette UK.
On Thursday 21st March 2019 my novel M for Mammy is delivered, polished and bound, to all bookshops in Ireland, Britain, Canada, Australia, Japan! The audio book and e-book are released the same day.
In M for Mammy I now know the missing child is Jacob. His older sister Jenny tells us how Autism got in through the kitchen window, they'd left open for the cat, one Wednesday in February, and took Jacob away. Jenny makes up stories to keep the truth at bay. She is desperate for a happy-ever-after ending, which she attempts to write, just in case things don't turn out as she'd hoped. And the adults around Jenny, instinctively try to protect her, and most probably themselves, from a truth that is so terminally painful, it is too big to comprehend. I remember being that protected child… he's going off to be a little angel up in heaven…they told me.
Now I write every day. I do not wait for inspiration to come and sit on my desk. I give writer's block about as much credence as I give to Man Flu! My belief, on both counts, is that if you pay it no attention, eventually, it goes away, never having been anything more than a psychosomatic condition, in the first place, anyway. If you feed into it, it will grow. If you tell him to stop snivelling, he will!
And so, I keep writing. I still don't know where stories come from, but I do know we find them inside ourselves. I also know that a writer becomes a better writer, only by writing.
I am currently half-way through my second novel. There are days when writing is difficult, but for me anyway, not writing would be hell!

They are bound together by their love for each other, but each expresses themselves in a very different way. When misfortune strikes the family, they must learn to understand each other anew. Sometimes, in a family as complicated as the Augustts, it's not always what is spoken that makes the most sense.
M for Mammy is an uplifting story about the unique comfort of home, the language we can find when the words aren't there, and the power of a family to heal itself.

After a summer of extreme heat and drought, the Government points to the Paris Accord as an important key to achieve the climate goals, both globally and locally.
– The Paris Accord is our most important international framework. In December, guidelines will be adopted for how countries will follow up on the accord. Norway will be driving force, HM King Harald states as he reads the State of the Union (trontale), on behalf of the Government, during the solemn opening of the 163rd Storting (Parliament) on Tuesday afternoon.
– The summer of 2018 brought heat records and drought with it. Extreme weather situations have become more commonplace. It is crucial that the world reaches its climate goals. Norway will fulfil our emission targets in cooperation with the EU, His Majesty continues.
The State of the Union is penned by the Prime Minister and highlights the Government's most important political goals for the next year, and mostly builds on the Government platform. Although the Government is expanded with the Liberal Party since last time around, there are few novel ideas in the speech that the King reiterates.
Prime Minister Erna Solberg (Conservatives) still will not stray far from the straight and narrow, as defined in the Jeløya Agreement between the governing Parties.

Design firms and communities of color collaborate on reopening strategies in the wake of COVID-19
By Jason Cohen
The Urban Design Forum and Van Alen Institute launched Neighborhoods Now.

NYC communities that were hit hardest by COVID-19 and major design firms are prepared to collaborate on reopening strategies.
In New York City and across the country, the pandemic has disproportionately affected communities of color. In a move to channel the talent of New York's top design firms into these communities' recovery, the Urban Design Forum and Van Alen Institute recently launched Neighborhoods Now.
"During this unprecedented time, Moody Nolan has a continued commitment to use design and our voice as vehicles for positive change," said Latoya Kamdang, senior associate and director of New York operations for Moody Nolan, one of Neighborhood Now's coordinating firms. "As New York City begins the reopening process, we are optimistic about the ways our involvement in the Neighborhoods Now program will impact some of the city's most vulnerable communities. This moment in history also opens the door for dialogue on the critical need for organizations to implement real diversity throughout its ranks and distribution of contracts."

Neighborhoods Now connects four neighborhoods hard-hit by the pandemic, represented by leading local organizations with more than 20 design firms in the Urban Design Forum and Van Alen's collective network. In Bed-Stuy, Jackson Heights, Kingsbridge and Washington Heights, these working groups will collaborate through August to develop safe and effective reopening strategies.
Each working group will develop tailored solutions for shared gathering spaces in those neighborhoods, which may include restaurants, storefronts, civic and cultural organizations, parks, and streets.

Recommendations will address how to reconfigure businesses to protect workers and customers, how to outfit community parks and gardens for social distancing, how to navigate permitting for sidewalk or parking lane temporary uses or how to repurpose vacant spaces as places for convening, culture and healing.
"Northwest Bronx Community & Clergy Coalition is excited to be partnering with the Urban Design Forum and Van Alen Institute on the Neighborhoods Now initiative that is supporting local businesses and organizations to re-open safely," said Sandra Lobo, executive director, Northwest Bronx Community & Clergy Coalition. "The Bronx has been the epicenter of the epicenter of the COVID-19 pandemic and these services are critical to helping our community recover."
The initiative will be bookended by two programs open to the public:
Neighborhoods Now Kickoff
Friday, June 26, 9 a.m. to 11 a.m.
Zoom (register here)
This kick-off session will bring the Neighborhood Now working groups together with the general public to learn about the practical considerations of reopening. A range of experts will present perspectives from the fields of public health, economic development, material science and other professions to inform the working groups' process.

The second event is the Neighborhoods Now Share-Out, which will take place during "late summer" at a "to be decided" date.
In this concluding summit, each working group will share back their outcomes with other neighborhood organizations, city leaders, and the public.
