Indianapolis Neighborhood Resource Center Summer Courses

Summer 2008 Courses at INRC

Rezonings & Variances Demystified
Thursday, July 10, 6:00 - 8:30pm

It all starts with an innocuous notice in the mail. Soon you are thrown into a bewildering process of rezonings & variances and the "land use decision-making" process. What does it all mean? What are the rules? How can one person have an impact? Find out these answers and more from Tammara Tracy, Principal Planner with the City of Indianapolis, with 19 years experience in this explosive field.

Introductions to Web 2.0
Thursday, July 31, 6:00-8:30pm

Twitter. Facebook. Wordpress. Flickr. The web can be a confusing series of websites and acronyms, but with a little guidance and the proper training, it can be easy. This course, led by John Fox with New Media Design and a resident of West Indianapolis, will guide you through all the web has to offer and how your neighborhood organization can benefit from this emergent technology? Among the topics will be: podcast production; basics of web design and hosting; applications and platforms; and, using online photography.

Art as Engagement
Thursday, August 7, 6:00-8:00pm

We've all seen them around town - murals, painted trash cans, signs, and more. In addition to identifying a place with their artwork, neighborhood leaders have created innovative art projects, all while engaging others in their neighborhoods. At this session, talk with various neighborhood leaders who have leveraged the impact of public art in their neighborhoods.

* All classes will be held at INRC, 1802 Illinois Street.
