So many things can be done with a blank 80 foot wide, 9 foot tall retaining wall!  For us it’s all about storytelling because that is really what ECAC is – one great story after another.  We’ve enlisted a veteran of ECAC projects, architect Ursula Johnson of Ronnie McGhee & Associates, to help us brainstorm and layout ideas for ways our wall can make many connections.  What are some of the stories we want to tell?

 

• The legacy of the ECAC building as a place to educate women and children since 1863

• 10 years of providing arts, education, civic engagement and social activities to the community

• The Pleasant Plains community and its rich history and culture

• Community organizing  - how we make our voiced heard

• In Her Honor – The women our community celebrates each year at our annual gala

• Sustainability in Practice – ECAC as a environmental model

• Your support – highlighting the people that helped make this campaign happen

 

These are big stories, and it’s a big wall.  We want you involved in the process – from the design to the implementation.  See below for some of the design concepts we are considering.
