Activated Spaces: Spread the Word!

As Some of may already know, I'm volunteering with Activated Spaces. It is a volunteer-led group that is all about bringing new life to vacant spaces in downtown Dayton. It's a really awesome group of talented people who are dedicating their time (for free!) to boost the downtown area. I'm really excited and happy to be a part of the team and I have some very exciting news:

• GRAPHIC DESIGN: I'm designing the logo and promotional material!!! I'm honored and super flattered that they would trust me to design the look of the Pop Up Pilot phase. I'll start posting previews soon!
• TWITTER: I'm helping with the Activated Spaces twitter. And naturally whenever twitter is mentioned a plea for followers is inevitable so...PLEASE FOLLOW @ActivatedSpaces. It will come in handy to follow because we will be updating about our progress and tweeting about giveaways relating to the project.
• INTERIOR DESIGN: We have a wonderful team of interior designers who will be working on the spaces. Sadly, I'm a knucklehead and don't have their website but I can tell you it is a team made up of professional designers who have years of experience as well as design students. One of which has had experience working on window displays at Anthropologie. A couple volunteers (myself included!) are going to help them get their vision realized by doing some good old fashioned grunt work...floral arrangements, arranging vignettes, pillow fluffing...I kid, I kid I'm sure we will also move furniture etc. We intend to have "making of" the spaces with some time-lapse videos which will be posted on facebook, twitter and here! We are also in the process of finding furniture stores, thrift stores and/or consignment stores that will rent/donate items to the spaces. If you know of anyone please share!.
• FACEBOOK: We are planning on having a very neat contest to get more likes on our facebook. Soooo, like/friend us at Facebook to stay tuned! The very talented Ms. Carly Short will be the one posting at facebook. Check out her amazing photography here.
• MORE TO COME!

So in short, I'm pumped! I've met some really great people through this and everyone is working hard to bring this awesome project to downtown. And if you have ideas on how we can spread the word I would love to hear them and if you are interested in helping our group go here
