Tinges Commons Community art garden
Southeast corner of Frisby and 33rd Streets
Tinges Commons is newly founded community garden and public art space on the vacant lot at the southeast corner of Frisby and 33rd Streets. Currently, 701 East 33rd Street residents Graham Coreil-Allen, Peter Cullen and Jimmy Joe Roche along with local soil expert Cheryl Carmona are organizing the garden construction and public art programing.
The name "Tinges Commons" is a tribute to Tinges Lane, a street that disappeared during the construction of the Giant supermarket Here at Tinges Commons we are planning on starting out with one main triangular garden bed that will include herbs, native flowers and few hearty vegetables. Herbs and vegetables yielded from the gardens will be made available to the public during community functions in Tinges Commons. In addition, we will be working with local artists to organize a series of film screenings and temporary, collaborative public art projects in the lot.
These projects will be site-specific and will include 2-d, 3-d and interactive art. We hope that hosting the community garden, public art projects, film screenings and block parties in Tinges Commons will cultivate an enhanced sense of community in Better Waverly. Anyone interested in helping with gardening or art projects are more than welcome to join in. Please email all questions and ideas to Graham Coreil-Allen at detourne@gmail.com
