A Generative City: Creating Shared Value

A Generative City: How can cultural organizations and businesses create shared value?

A Long Table Discussion
Monday June 27th, 2016
Conversation starts at 6:30 PM with reception to follow
at Opera America, 330 7th Avenue in Manhattan
Free; RSVP Required

How can cultural organizations and for-profit businesses create shared value that positively impacts the local economy and creates a more just society for us all? Performance Space 122 and Greenwich Village Chelsea Chamber of Commerce (GVCCC) co-host a Long Table discussion around the new ideas of creating shared value. Questions raised by the group will explore how cultural organizations and businesses can partner in mutually beneficial, economically successful ways that go beyond the conventional notions of philanthropy or corporate social responsibility programs.

Long Table discussions are a deeper way of collaboratively engaging with a larger topic. Used as a problem-solving tactic by think tanks, the start-up community and the cultural sector, the Long Table format was first developed by director and scholar Lois Weaver. Experimenting with participation and public engagement, the Long Table re-appropriates a dinner table atmosphere as a public forum – 12 people sit around an actual long table, encouraging informal conversations on serious topics. All voices are welcome at the table to ask questions, make statements, leave comments, or simply sit, listen and watch.

miLES is a civic startup, comprised of designers, architects, event producers, social entrepreneurs and real estate professionals committed to activating urban neighborhoods as canvases for pop-up entrepreneurship. We provide entrepreneurs, creatives, brands, and neighbors with accessible space, talent, and tools to realize their visions within physical spaces. Inspired by and started in the Lower East Side of Manhattan, miLES enables the connection between people and spaces across neighborhoods of different cities, near and far. Together we transform underused storefronts to create new ways to work, shop, play and collaborate.

Since starting operations in April 2013, we have enabled 100+ pop-ups ranging ranging in length from 1 day to 6 months. The function and style of the popups have been as diverse as the people creating them. Past pop-ups include: a Teen art salon, the Museum of Beautiful People, Polpo Gelato Shop, Design Taco, Skillshare Classes, the Strangers Project, a brand showcase for Reebok, a non-profit photography exhibit, a Small Business Merchant Workshop, a sewing workshop, a short film festival, a Thai Supper Club, a Brunch Club, a chocolate & cookies shop, sample sales, an all-ages makerspace, a holiday gift shop, the Jack Kirby Museum, an indies electronics shop, a multi-storefronts neighborhood activation, and more.

We are all about prototyping, experimenting, and utilizing spaces as a way to collaborate and test new ideas. We’re on a mission to cultivate a culture of doing as well as to enable individuals, small businesses, and private and public entities alike to diversify the use of commercial real estate in our neighborhoods and cities, one storefront at a time. We use short-term uses as a means for long-term action. We believe cities are made vibrant through active participation and we work to enable people to make their marks and realize their visions within the physical spaces that make up urban neighborhoods.

Lauren Slone is commissioned by Performance Space 122 as part of a RAMP 2016 residency with support from the Jerome Foundation, the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew M.
