OUR PARK FURNITURE IS FULLY SPONSORED!


The STEEM Park project has been met with an outpouring of support from Steemians all over the world. We ( @hansikhouse / @voronoi ) are thrilled to have your support and so excited to have such incredible representation in STEEM Park!

~ Furniture sponsorship is now closed and we are fully sponsored! ~

Thank You Bench / Planter Sponsors!


We want to give a HUGE shout out to @andrarchy, @surfermarly, @fulltimegeek, @dylanhobalart, @gardenlady, @good-karma, @virtualgrowth, @clayop, @thejohalfiles, @natureofbeing and @steemed.

Our planters and benches just got even sexier with the help of our fabrication team - A05 Studio. Take a look at the updated design screen-shots below and rendering (above).

What is STEEM Park?


“STEEM Park” is an interactive community garden in the heart of Brooklyn, New York. Located within the historic Herbert von King Park: STEEM Park is a pop-up installation that will be used to host Steemit meetups, local community events, workshops and dozens of activities throughout the year.

Support!


This project will be created, constructed and maintained with 100% STEEM and SBD donations! Your upvotes and donations will help make this community garden a reality. In return, we have some amazing awards for you. What will your STEEM and SBD get you?

Good For Community, Good for Steemit


This new neighborhood hotspot in the heart of Brooklyn will act as a colorful and dynamic billboard for the Steemit community. We @hitheryon believe that this physical design project is an important and exciting proof of concept for STEEM and Steemit. We want to build something physical, lasting and impactful with cryptocurrency. Tens of thousands of people will visit Steemit Park this summer. Our team @hitheryon will host Steemit workshops and events for the purpose of onboarding community members and activists to the Steemit platform (this includes park visitors, park representatives, volunteers, local residents and more!)

Upvotes and donations will translate directly to funding for furniture, events, park maintenance, beautification and restoration for a neighborhood in need. This project is about discovering new ways of using STEEM and Steemit for social good!

yes everyone involved in this like an game crowed.

What a cool project! I can't wait to see it fully come into fruition. Good luck on this! Steemit up!

Thanks so much @ekpickle! We're super excited to get building and installing!

Great initiative! Well done. Fresh ideas and motivated minds are the perfect combination for some guaranteed success! Excited about this, will be following for the official announcement !

Thanks for the hard work!

wow awesome work guys :)

I will love to come and visit this place, but the sad part is that i live in another country, still i will try to help in any way possible @hitheryon

We'll take tons of photos and video, not to worry. Your upvotes and supportive comments make a huge difference, thank you!

This is amazing. The power of creativity and inspiration combined with brilliance and hard work. I may have to make a trip to NYC for this!

Thank you for the kind words @wickedcute! Definitely swing through NYC this summer. We'll be hosting a few Steemit meetups there :)

Keep up the good work

This is so great for steemit i really believe in something like that. Its a great way to have the the world more open to steem. I hope the is the first of many. I think should be in every continent while some steem events can be held there to inform people what this great platform os about

I'm so happy to hear that the project is going so well! Getting all the furniture sponsored already is a great start, and I'm so excited to see updates from this project once it's getting closer to official opening. Thanks again for doing this guys!

This is fantastic news! Wish you guys the very best! I hope to make it to Brooklyn and see this in person very soon! Thank you @hitheryon @hansikhouse and @voronoi for doing this!

Thanks so much for your support @firepower! If you are ever swinging through NYC we would be honored to give you a tour. Cheers!

how did you go about getting permission to put the planters in the park? i'm kinda interested in the background processes that realised that so other people around the world can do similar things.

A great question! We've had experience working with NYC Parks for a mix of art installations and other programs in the past. This helped us understand the hoops that needed jumping through. @hansikhouse connected with the Herbert von King Park conservancy leader to pitch the idea of STEEM Park a couple of months back. From there we filed for permitting with the NYC Parks Department in order to get permission.

It's always a mix of getting permission regionally (NYC Parks Dept.) and locally (Park Conservancy)... every public space is different!

right i bet, useful to know (filed for permitting with the NYC Parks Department in order to get permission) - just finding the right people to do the permits is always the thing right? i can't wait to see photos!
