An introduction to the online infrastructure that has been built for use by the people and organizations working on performing/working space in Burien.

1. BURIEN, WASHINGTON

2. ONLINE
Several components of the online infrastructure have
been built and are ready for access and use. Nothing is
set in stone, and can be changed, grown, modified as
necessary.
These communication tools were created to aid in group
dialog, organization, and ultimately they can be used to
help communicate our message to outside individuals
and organizations (such as potential investors, funders, &
supporters).

3. WEBSITE
The website is live and ready
for use, with key interactive
components in place. The
domain is artscoalition.org, and
the name is not intended to
indicate that the project is
strictly arts-based. Most of the
language throughout the
materials uses “arts, culture, &
heritage.”

4. WEBSITE
The center section of the home page has an icon and brief
description of each of the major disciplines (in alphabetical
order): dance, heritage, music, theatre, visual arts. These
descriptions are not the final text, and each will eventually
lead to a more detailed page on each category.

5. WEBSITE
The website has a
calendar where meetings
and deadlines can be
listed. This is not a public
facing local
events/performance
calendar.

6. WEBSITE
The section of the
website which has the
most potential use at this
stage of our process is
the forums. There are 3
different levels of security
(access): public, coalition
members, steering
committee.
PUBLIC FORUM:

7. WEBSITE
This area of the
discussion forum is
available to people who
are involved in the
project, but in a limited
capacity. (The public
cannot see this section of
the forum.)
COALITION
MEMBERS FORUM:

8. WEBSITE
This area of the discussion
forum is available only to
the members of the
Steering Committee. The
only way to see this part of
the website is to be granted
specific privileges. This will
be used by a small number
of people.
STEERING
COMMITTEE FORUM:

9. SOCIAL MEDIA
More social media
presence can be created
as necessary, but for
now we have a
Facebook Page and a
Google+ Community
page. Members of the
steering committee can
become admins if they
want to.
FACEBOOK:

10. SOCIAL MEDIA
The Google+ page
doesn’t have much
content yet, but it may be
a useful way to share
information.
GOOGLE+:

11. FUTURE

12. FUTURE
TO-BE-DONE
Form the Steering Committee (finalize the list), grant
access to the private forum
Compile a list of the people who will probably want
to be part of the coalition, and grant them access to
the coalition section of theforums
Share information and resources with each other
through the online forums (documents, links, ideas,
discussion, etc.)
