Outdoor events (August to Feb)

NC Museum of Art sculpture garden
- Garden: https://ncartmuseum.org/visit/museum-park/
- We could ask them if they have stuff in their collectionns they need Wikipedia articles about
- We could look into the coverage of the stuff that they have on Wikipedia
- Last two events have been at Chapel Hill, so stategically it would be a good idea to be in Durham or Raleigh
- Can we get food paid for? Maybe!
- We had previously discussed the NC Museum of Art as a possible event location. They have an amazing sculpture garden. There were some concerns about copyright as it relates to putting pictures of sculpture on Wikimedia. I did a little more research on this. There are photos of modern sculptures on Wikipedia; some examples are Cloud Gate (Chicago “bean”) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_Gate and LOVE (Indianapolis) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Love_(Indianapolis). Some of the sculpture images do come with a Permissions note “Although the original Flickr image is released under a Creative Commons Attribution 2.0 style license, the image can only be used under the fair use provisions on Wikipedia, because it is a photograph of a copyrighted work (and could thus be considered derivative), where the original work is situated in a jurisdiction that does not recognise freedom of panorama for public works of art.” The way I read that, it limits how the Wikimedia image can be used. Under Fair Use, it can be used in ways like Wikipedia articles and classroom teaching. On the other hand, it wouldn’t be OK to combine a bunch of photos like this into a Modern Sculpture Calendar and sell the calendars. My take on this is that I wouldn’t let copyright rule out sculpture gardens as a meeting location. The one at the NCMA is great https://ncartmuseum.org/visit/museum-park/ Apparently the Botanical Garden has an annual sculpture event in the fall https://ncbg.unc.edu/visit/exhibits/sculpture-in-the-garden/ Beyond the Triangle, there is one in Seagrove https://cbsculpturegarden.com/ Western NC https://www.wncsculpture.org/team-1-1
Carolina Tiger Rescue (Chapel Hill NC)
North Carolina Zoo (Asheboro NA)
Western North Carolina Nature Center (Asheville NC)
Duke Lemur Center (Durham NC)
- Duke Lemur Museum of Natural History (near 9th St) is open on the last Saturday of every month (https://lemur.duke.edu/discover/dlcmnh/fossil-tours/)
RDU Observation Park (possibly closed because of construction, Morrisville NC)
Orange County Historical Museum (Hillsborough NC)
