ArtPlace Project remodels part of East Lawrence
The Lawrence Art Center wrote a grant for a half million dollars to ArtPlace to begin the process and the city then put in about 3 million of their money making it a 3.5 million dollar project.
University alumni and active muralist David Loewenstein said the Art Center is working with ArtPlace America, a group of private foundations that pool money together in order to carry out projects intended to fuel economic development through the arts.

East Lawrence, according to Loewenstein, is considered to be an old working class neighborhood and after years of tradition many residents have concerns about trusting new development projects.
The Lawrence Art Center has been working on a project to design new streets and sidewalks that are more artistic by adding sculptures and other installations in the East Lawrence community.
"Nothing will appear on Ninth Street that hasn't been a part of a public process."
As the project ideas begin to surface more and more, neighbors and residents around East Lawrence are advocating for a voice within the ArtPlace project.
Loewenstein said the idea of the project is to remake Ninth Street from about New Hampshire to Delaware streets. The project is in the process of hiring a design firm, which will help facilitate the types of renovations that will be done to East Lawrence.
SUSAN TATE
Executive director,
Lawrence Arts Center
Loewenstein said, KU's Department of Architecture is involved in helping the Art Center in regards to planning. One of the University's faculty members, Josh Shelton, is the head of the architecture
firm that the city hopes to hire, Loewenstein said.
The project has been up in the air for two to three years now, Loewenstein said, but the Art Center didn't form an official proposal until last spring. Since then, there has been much discussion among the neighborhood and residents as to the pros and cons of this project taking over East Lawrence
Lowenstein attended graduate school at Kansas in 1991 as a painter and has been an artist in the Lawrence community for 25 years. His involvement in community mural projects contributes to his passion in advocating for a voice for the East Lawrence community in this project.
"Some of the concerns have been first, this isn't a project that the neighborhood chose so it's coming sort of from outside and because of that there are a lot of neighbors that would like to have a voice in giving ideas and making decisions about the project." Loewenstein said.
Specifically, many neighbors believe the project

"I'm confident in our level of transparency," Tate said.
"Nothing will appear on Ninth Street that hasn't been a part of a public process."
attempts to tell a new story about the neighborhood which isn't a story the residents chose, leaving them with the feeling that they are losing a part of their community.
Susan Tate, executive director of the Lawrence Arts Center, said parts of the application, including the project budget, timeline and information about the leadership team, hasn't been made public because the information could compromise the identity of private donors to the arts center, and also could allow people to figure out the salaries of some arts center employees.
Tate said that the things like new sidewalks, public art, streetscape improvements or events for the corridor will go through the normal City Hall process for public spending.
The neighbors and residents that hope for a voice in the project have
been advocating this through a variety of ways. Loewenstein said neighbors and residents of the East Lawrence community have been meeting with the East Lawrence neighborhood association, have been conversing amongst themselves, have written letters to the newspaper, and many have gone to the city commission meetings to speak.
Loewenstein's personal goal in advocating for this projectis more abouthow the process goes and less about the exact outcomes. "So what I would like to see is a process that's truly inclusive; that gives East Lawrence real decision making power, instead of just input, so that everybody else is accounted for." Loewenstein said
101. Resident's with similar views to Loewenstein's hope to soon have decision making power instead of simply giving input as the project continues to progress.

University Theatre opens 'The Last Cyclist'
RYAN WRIGHT
@RyanWayneWright
The University Theatre will open "The Last Cyclist" this weekend. The play is a satire and was originally composed by Karel Svenk, a Czech writer who lived in Nazi concentration camps. The play opens Saturday at
This is the first time the play has ever been produced by a university. After Karel
7:30 p.m. at Inge Theatre and runs through Dec. 11. The Sunday performance is at 2:30 p.m., and the other performances are at 7:30 p.m. Inge Theatre is located inside of Murphy Hall at 1530 Naismith Drive.
When: Saturday, Dec. 6 at 7:30 p.m.
Where: Inge Theatre, 1530 Naismith Drive in Murphy Hall
Cost: $10-$15
PERFORMANCE
Svenk wrote the play in 1944, the play was rehearsed inside the Terezin Concentration Camp near Prague. According to KU Theatre, "The Last Cyclist" was never performed after the final dress rehearsal because it was feared that the satire of the treatment of Jews and others by Nazis would lead to fatal consequences. The play was censored but has since been reconstructed.
PRE-PERFORMANCE
When: Saturday, Dec. 6 at 6:30 p.m.
Where: Murphy Hall, Room 354
Cost: Free and open to the public
The play follows a group of people who unite their society around a scapegoat for all of their problems people who cycle which was similar to the what the Nazis did to Jewish people. It is directed by Gina Sandi-Diaz and Rachel Blackburn, who are both KU students. Sandi-Diaz is a second-year Ph.D. student and graduate teaching assistant, and Blackburn is a Ph.D. student and a professional director.
"The Last Cyclist" sets itself apart from other plays due to the fact that it's a comedy about the Holocaust.
"Life is absurd and darkly funny; it's an honest mix of the comedy and drama that make up our lives and our history."
RACHEL BLACKBURN Director
The play is primarily about the past, but the themes of
"It's a dark comedy, and I've always been attracted to that genre because to me, it seems the most true-to-life depiction in storytelling that we have," Blackburn said. "Life is absurd and darkly funny; it's an honest mix of the comedy and drama that make up our lives and our history."
"It's absurd and laughable that there could be a human being in our day and age that learns about the histories of the Holocaust, slavery, Rwanda, etc., and then turns around and hates another group of people for whatever reason." Blackburn said.
the play can be translated to modern times. Sandi-Diaz said the play remains important today because unfortunately, history continues to repeat itself, and violence and hatred against others is still very much alive in the world.
Naomi Patz, the woman who reconstructed the play, will be in attendance on opening night and will speak before the performance.
Tickets are still available and can be purchased at kutheatre.com.
