601 Tully is a center for engaged practice in Syracuse, NY developed by artist and professor Marion Wilson with a rotating collaborative team of 54 students and neighbors and Anda French of French 2Design. It's a site for meaningful exchange between artists, community members, and scholars in the co-production of culture.
601 Tully includes a contemporary art space, a public events space, a bookstore, a teaching garden, and Recess Cafe West.
In 2009, Wilson purchased the condemned two-story home and local drug hub, and throughout five semesters, Wilson's design/build class re-zoned, designed, renovated and now sustains the physical and programmatic aspects of 601 Tully. The collaborative team has consisted of artists, architects, environmentalists, Fowler High School students, Green Train Workforce, neighbors, and the occasional passerby.
601 Tully is made possible by the generous support of the Syracuse University School of Education, The Kauffman Foundation, The Near West Side Initiative, Imagining America, Home HeadQuarters Inc., Say Yes to Education, and National Grid.
Nice work John...The only suggestions I have are maybe the incorporation of the actual windows in some way? Otherwise it just seems like a "monopoly" house - it needs to be uniquely Tully...An more minorly the "Tully" text could fill the "1" better, either by increasing the size or spacing. Good stuff.
Looks great! It might be nice if the logo reflected our design, as well. I'm thinking that maybe the "601" could mirror the location of our south wall screening device (ie. shrink to bottom left of house outline). Ditto on "TULLY" filling out the "1" a bit more.
