What?
Beintween is hosting its fourth and final bbq and community potluck of the 2013 season!
When?
Sunday, Sept. 1 from 4pm to 8pm
Where?
on the ARTery on top of the old railroad bridge over Capitol Drive, just east of Port Washington road
(cars can park at either of the chase banks @ 2nd + capitol)
etails
These bbqs are a great opportunity to interact with neighbors, share delicious food, and listen to ideas for the future of this space. In addition to a dish to share at this potluck, all are welcome to bring a used automobile tire that needs disposing.

We are thrilled to be able to host these events and gather insight to help shape the future of the artery, a new 8 acre, 3500 linear foot extension of the Beerline trail, which will become public space in 2014, creating a bridge between the communities of Harambee and Riverwest.
We will demonstrate how to upcycle tires as well as share our plans for the development of a new super-ecological geo-textile, known as matireal. Over the summer months we have collected over one thousand tires from neighborhood and tire shops within a 3 mile radius of the artery to build a permeable path. This fall, we will fabricate and install this atop the Capitol overpass.
We also hope to work with attendees to draw out ideas on a large map of the site as well as co-create a community art installation. Those interested in contributing are encouraged to show up earlier to help us get started. We are working on booking a guest to perform afterwards as the sun is setting.
Beintween has been awarded significant national funding from artplace america to engage local artists, designers, fabricators, performers, and other creatives in place-making initiatives for this rail-to-trails project.
Hope to see you there!
