SUMMARY:The Pillars Project: Our History\, Our Trail
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by the City of Austin\, Austin Parks Foundation\, and the Mueller Foundation –\nPaying Homage to Our Collective Memory and Future – Ride | Walk | Art | Community | History | Future \nJoin us for a community celebration of the Pillars in our East Austin Community. Ride your bike and/or walk along the EastLink Trail to the Pleasant Valley Bridge underpass at Rosewood Avenue as six artists from the communities along the trail reflect on collected histories and create a community mural that aims to express how the history of communities along the Trail can be the foundation for its future. Participate by adding your history and desires for the future of the Trail. \ntk tunchez\, in collaboration with EastLink presents “La OFRENDA / The offering” – an homage to our collective memory\, what made us\, what makes us and where we’re going. This is a site-specific collective interactive installation\, a gathering of memory and story\, of wisdom\, of loss and of hope. In the fast changing face of Austin and the US\, specifically set on the Eastside of Austin\, Texas- this is a story of survival and of loss\, of sadness and of hope\, of beauty and of ugliness. We set the foundation for this Physical OFRENDA\, with our own herstories & artistic contributions\, and invite the general public to contribute to this ongoing and complex narrative. Bring your stories\, your art\, images and more to create this onsite growing document. \nMore information at EastlinkAustin.com \nThe Pillars Project is commissioned in partnership with the City of Austin\, Austin Parks Foundation and Mueller Foundation. The project is produced and curated by Public City in collaboration with Raasin in The Sun and Frida Friday ATX.

SUMMARY:Power Up! Placemaking Through Art And Renewable Energy
DESCRIPTION:From the City of Austin –\nIn this Imagine Austin Speaker Series event\, we are teaming up with the Austin Parks and Recreation Department\, Office of Sustainability\, Austin Energy\, and the Energy Institute at the University of Texas to bring in the founders of the Land Art Generator Initiative. Through their work\, our speakers – Elizabeth Monoian and Robert Ferry – develop global partnerships around projects that address issues of climate and sustainability through the lens of creativity. Their discussion will address the following: \nThe great energy transition will have an impact on our built environment\, our parks\, our culture\, and our visual landscape like no other technical shift since the automobile. By presenting examples of utility-scale renewable energy infrastructure as public art\, the Land Art Generator Initiative (LAGI) is inspiring the public about the beauty of our sustainable future and showing policy makers and city planners that distributed energy resources can be placemaking tools\, economic development drivers\, and educational venues while they help to power the grid and implement a clean energy revolution. \nRecreational spaces like Seaholm Waterfront and parkland at the former Holly Shores Power Plan have the potential to tell the stories of power generation past and present through public art. \nLearn more at austintexas.gov/imagineaustin/speakerseries \nParking at the Zach Theater is $1 per hour.\nPlease consider using alternate forms of transportation to get to this event. The Zach Theater is accessible by the 803\, 3\, 338\, and 484 bus lines. Try using the CapMetro trip planner to find a route: https://www.capmetro.org/planner/
