While planning our architect and design selection process, we have spoken with hundreds of individuals in an effort to create the most equitable and accessible experience possible. During this “listening tour,” we have heard brilliant and beautiful ideas about how to accomplish this and have met many individuals who are eager to explore this topic in more depth. We welcome anyone invested in design, community organizing, city planning, and social justice to be part of a collective visioning as to how projects like ours can do better at offering more equitable access to opportunity for architects and artists. During the session and beyond, we will use multiple methods of gathering and sharing the collected ideas and experiences in the hopes of impacting other projects as well. Co-sponsored by The Projects Group. Please click below to receive a Zoom link and reminders about the upcoming digital gathering: |

How did you get involved with Transform 1012? "Due to our consistent focus on community involvement, we were introduced to Daniel and Adam by our District City Councilmember Carlos Flores. Often both Román Ramírez (SOL Ballet Folklorico Co-Founder) and I would drive by 1012 N. Main Street. We would stare at the building and talk about how a cultural center or theater would be perfect there and much needed in our city. When Daniel and Adam presented us their vision of the Transform 1012 movement, we were automatically passionate about it and knew we had to be a part of it. The idea of community healing and the transformation of this historic building for our community is what draws me to this project. I would love to see other ethnic dance teams to come together in unity and share their talents. The Fred Rouse Center will bring our community together and will provide a safe haven for all."
