Text of the page (random words):
rate choice to attempt to rally people around change we desire a change in the human mindset to make the golden rule supreme this belief remains at the core of all the writing we do however the clarion content has grown and expanded beyond what we your editor could ever have imagined if you read the introductory essay to this piece you will notice there is little mention of covering durham in the intervening years durham has become not only where we live but our home it too has also grown beyond all our expectations when our editor moved here from pacific beach california no one was arguing that durham might be the cultural capital of a generation people from a little old village like carrboro would have sneered and probably chuckled at the thought of moving to durham for the culture now folks regularly move to durham from places like portland and brooklyn specifically for our fantastic culture 1 now durham is lauded in the pages of the boston globe the new york post the new york times gourmet and more for our great food and cool atmosphere now it is now entirely believable when people say durham may be the seattle or the austin of the millennial generation the clarion content s coverage focus has shifted along with durham s meteoric rise it was a year and a half after our debut that we published our first durham tagged article only four articles about durham were published in 2007 contrast that with each of the past two years where we have published more than 100 articles about durham we love durham we are proud of durham and we intend to continue to cover durham we believe the press has an important function in free civil society information is power distribution of information decentralizes power in a way that serves us all provided we participate actively rather than absorb passively we are proud to have broken stories from fracking deeds and durham abc misdeeds in these pages we have long taken a hardcore stance against advertising but as we have ramped up our coverage and ramped our coverage we have heard time and again that we should reconsider in the last year as we have approached the 10 000 hits a month level we have started to listen our objection to advertising was always rooted in the anonymity we don t want to adverse for companies or products that we do not know that we do not feel comfortable with personally in an effort to find the compromise between the costs of doing this much coverage and the deleterious nature of advertising we have decided to accept local ads on the new clarion content wordpress site 2 perhaps then accepting advertising on the clarion content is the biggest change but there are a litany of other changes coming the clarion content started as a solo project we have been incredibly lucky to add an excellent crew of people to our team over time about a year and half ago cady childs of fashionablytactless came aboard and gave the clarion content vim verve and a fashion sense we never had childs has been at the center of one of the clarion content s most successful projects our durham fashion drive by s these fashion drive by s were the brainchild of your editor ms childs and one of the other core members of our team the amazing photographer jessica blakely aka jessica arden we have been delighted to work with these talented folks their appearance on the scene began a transition that will become even more evident as the clarion content moves to wordpress we refer to an emphasis on the visual the original clarion content hardly featured a picture now one of the core members of our team is the brilliant young director and writer ned phillips phillips has written numerous extremely well received articles for the clarion content phillips the clarion content and a nationally renowned team of filmmakers are in discussions about filming a series of durham documentaries 3 the clarion content has been extremely grateful to have the contributions of these team members above and beyond that we have been graced with efforts of many other outstanding contributors artist and community activist catherine howard has penned a slew of greatpieces superb photographer beth mandel of bwpw photography has photographed innumerable subjects for the clarion content from the arts to development to portraiture our north jersey contingent has contributed pieces of great social importance and scads of one time contributors have put their thoughts out there this is a process and a formula that we want to nurture and expand our editorial philosophy is print as wide an array of thoughtful voices and opinions as we can find our goal is to be both a knowledge provider and a community connector when we hear that magazines with the prestige of newsweek are moving to an exclusive on line distribution model we are confident in our course 4 a central part of this drive is that your editor yours truly aaron mandel wants to take a further step back from the role as primary author of this multimedia piece we also want to move away from our mimicry of the economist s editorial we i have been tilling and maintaining the garden of the clarion content for more than six years sometimes more fastidiously than others the truth is i think gardens who has time for gardens when i was a little kid i used to nag my hard working pop to build us kids a garden and he did found a way in his spare time when i was a little kid i used to think gardens were perfectable that they reached a finished state where you were done now i perceive the fallacy of those delusions but as dad knew intuitively our imperfectability was not an excuse for not trying he embedded the lesson thanks to entropy life offers work embrace it the key for me to best embrace the work life offers is to work on what i love i believe this is true for many others but i can only till the garden of my own mind it feels to me like the most important of all tasks artistotle s know thyself was not meant as a finished prescription but rather as a first step for realizing one s fullest potential now i know the inevitable imperfectability of my mind and its precepts i am both comforted and scared by it i am succored by my belief that there is only one perfect in this universe of ours 5 i will effort my best moreover i will put this effort into that which is most important to me this is not to say that the clarion content is not important to me it is extremely important to me but yours truly must focus first and foremost on my fiction another thing under development in this transition is an aaron mandel fiction website i don t beat myself up for being imperfect however it does vex me greatly to struggle to find time to work on that which is most important to me i am threatened by the reality of my own mortality i know that like a garden i will grow ripen wither and die i will not finish everything i want to read i will know incomplete dreams there will be journeys not taken the measure for me will be did i put in the best fullest effort that i could 6 the clarion content s transition is rooted in this deep desire for more time to write fiction we have been extremely fortunate to have the great contributors and collaborators we have had for these first six and a half years we are so excited for the new voices that will be coming aboard as we make this transition as many of you know the clarion content in addition to publishing is a multimedia consulting firm we have had the pleasure to work with an amazing cast of movers shakers bon vivants gurus and intellectuals 7 in the next year even more of those folks are coming to these pages we will be co authoring a column with the amazing life coach bonnie cohen we are promoting covering and imbibing revolutionary thinker and serial entrepreneur carl nordgren aka the creative populist we have had discussions with a panoply of terrific writers about their potential contributions to the clarion content 8 as we mentioned we are working on a durham documentary film project we have brought on a fantastic dating advice columnist who has an eye on the modern scene having once held the same position for the highly regarded college paper the daily tar heel we hope to bring on a coffee columnist we intend to be an oral history collator for our beloved city of durham 9 in an effort to embrace the multimedia ethic of the era we are building a clarion content pintrest a clarion contenttumblr and are in discussions with distributors about our video content of course you know about our facebook and twitter like us and follow us as you please this is what s up this is where we have been this is where we intend to go as always please tell us what you think

fly trip notes 1 and the reasonable cost of living true then still true now resist gentrification durham 2 the clarion content has long had a donate here button connected our paypal in an effort to solicit contributions in return for the free coverage it has not been successful if you wish to advertise on the new and improved clarion content email us at info at clarioncontent dot com symbols no spaces for rates and additional information 3 phillips just shot the kickstarter video for organic transit s wildly successful 100 000 plus campaign 4 and note to self we were ahead of the curve note to community we were extremely fortunate to sit on the panel for the state of publishing with a select group of durham publishing leaders this amazing forum helped imbue as with the confidence necessary to make these changes 5 multiple universes totally allowed for still believe perfection is a the singularity 6 we effort we garden i do so not in hopes of perfection with love not desperation hoping that i will be able to say on the way out i gave back more than i took lofty but the truth 7 i would not be here writing this without the efforts of javier sandoval and mark coffman 8 you know who you are please please please lend us and durham your pen and your thoughts we will all be the wiser for it 9 we hope to collaborate with as many top notch durham institutions as we can in this goal including open durham and the durham art guild posted by clarion content 10 08 pm 1 comments friday december 14 2012 howard brings 13 13 13 sketchbook project to durham catherine howard artist and community activist and occasional guest columnist for the clarion content is bringing her 13 13 13 sketchbook project to durham tonight at mercury studio where else right howard and mercury studio are inviting the public to celebrate the launch of the 13 13 13 sketchbook project with food music wine and what catherine promises will be lots and lots of hugs ed note we believe she means it howard painting a mural in south africa so what s the story howard journeyed last year to south africa to paint write teach and create she returned with a magnificent work of art a warm space to disappear which is a compilation of howard s sketches from her residency in cape town this experience and the rave reviews inspired her to go bigger in 2013 from her website during the 13 13 13 sketchbook project catherine j howard will live with 13 collectives of artists that use visual art to challenge and revitalize their communities from tampere finland where artists band together to weather a harsh physical and economic environment to karachi pakistan where artists are working under the radar to promote critical thinking about the implications of combining religion and materialism to asuncion paraguay where street artists are invigorating shanty towns with color and pride to document and disperse these experiences she will publish sketchbooks she intendeds for these sketchbooks to include everything from writing and drawings to collage to photographs and perhaps even polaroids naturally she is going to blog about her travels as well her south africa blog was riveting after a year roaming the globe howard intends to distill the lessons learned of her journeys into an educational curriculum for distribution to art educators and social activists all over the world to help reverberate the waves started by her 13 13 13 sketchbook project we applaud and we encourage you to come out to mercury studios tonight between 6pm and 9pm at 407 a mangum street to help

council friend artist community activist and occasional guest columnist for the clarion content catherine howard has undertaken to pen a series of articles about how the visual arts have impacted durham s community on her 13 13 13 sketchbook site howard is both a leader on the ground in bringing the arts to communities worldwide and also a coalition builder who helped get the ball rolling for the durham storefront project the clarion content was delighted that ms howard selected our publisher aaron mandel and the co founder director of the carrack laura richie as the subjects of her first pieces ms howard has generously agreed to co publish this series on the clarion content her third piece is about an important durham institution creative leaders of durham margaret demott and lindsay gordon of the durham arts council by catherine howard one cannot discuss the development of arts in durham without giving a hearty nod to the durham arts council one of the oldest arts councils in the united states the durham arts council whose mission statement is to promote excellence in and access to the creation experience and active support of the arts for all the people of the durham community combines arts education with exhibitions performances and community events such as centerfest and art walk during a lunch at toast margaret demott and lindsay gordon from the durham arts council expanded on five factors that promote flourishing arts communities 1 public space where you can find the art the durham arts council is a physical place where things can happen meetings art can be hung shows can be put on people can find it although lots of arts councils don t have a permanent space whenever they want to hold an event their first challenge is finding a space with an understood showcase people know events will be happening town squares used to provide those spaces and now those spaces often need to be run by groups to insure stability for cultural programming 2 an educated adult audience even if expensive visual art is not being bought an audience that is educated either through school or person to person outreach from the artistic community wil...
