Hi, we are The ramp Project NYC

  Due to Corona Pandemic, we have suspended our public activities and funding for a while. 

Ramp Project Queens, Day5

We worked on the sixth ramp at the Salumeria Antichi Sapori cafe. We set painting space in front of the business, on December 3rd. 

For social distance, we set a banner explaining about the project with QR code for more information, and video show by iPad instead of handing paper flyers in person. 

We visited the cafe on August and explained that the project provide to repaint and artist’s painting on the ramp, and made sure that the restaurant was okay with, however, the owner saw an artist’s pencil sketch for the ramp, he refused it and asked us to paint wine bottle and food instead. We said we were not able to do that because this is an art project and not a commercial project. We had no choice but repainted just blue color non-slip paint on the ramp and finished it. We were very disappointed and sad.

There were so many tore and scarred on the ramp. It was very bad condition.

 

One of our staff members, carpenter Yuki took care of them with a plastic paste. 

 

We leave the repainted ramp at side of a door for dry.

 

This project is made possible by the Queens Council on the Arts with public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council.

Ramp Project Queens, Day3

We worked on the  fourth ramp at the Beer Garden convenience store. We set painting space in front of the business, on November 25th. 

When we painted base non-slip paint, two women stopped by to see us, and one woman said that let her help painting! 

We handed gloves and a brush. She painted happily for a while. She said us that she was an artists and usually enjoy painting for her spare time. We were very glad for her help!

Many passersby stood by to enjoying seeing our painting, and were interested in our activity and took a photo of the QR code of information.

 

 The non-slip paint was very thick and not easy to dry. We used a dryer.

Ramp Project Queens, Day1

 We finally moved our schedule of Ramp Project Queens forward. We set painting space in front of each participating business, TUFINO, and KiddyKutz on October 1st. 

For social distance, we set a banner explaining about the project with QR code for more information, and video show by iPad instead of handing paper flyers in person.

First, we checked each condition of ramp, wiped and treated as needed, then painted new exterior non slip deck paints.  

Some passersby were interested in our activity and took information cards. Some asked us if they write a blog about the project. It was a nice encounter.
