Sources
Every record here traces to a public capture of the DDA’s own sites. Nothing here is invented, and nothing here is current.
Why the content is dated
Both downtowngj.org and gjcreates.org return a firewall refusal to every automated client. Rather than work around a host that plainly does not want automated traffic, Stoa built these pages from Internet Archive captures of those same pages. Zero requests were made against DDA servers.
The consequence matters: sculpture prices, awards, the exhibit roster, business listings, and staff names are point-in-time and mostly from 2025. Treat every one of them as a demonstration of structure, not as today’s fact.
What is on this site
- 14 sculptures
- Title, artist, artist’s home city, asking price, award, street number, and artist’s statement, from the Creative District’s Art on the Corner catalogue on gjcreates.org.
- 12 photographs
- Documentary photographs of the sculptures standing on the street, published by the Creative District on its own site. Photographs by Sarah Dishong. Each file is bound to its source, acquisition time, and exact hash in the proposal’s media manifest.
- 38 businesses
- Name, category, street number, and description, from the DDA’s published list of where the downtown gift card is accepted. That page is the only public source carrying a street number for each business, which is why it is the source used here and why every business shown takes the card. The DDA says the card works at more than 100 places; the archived capture of that page runs alphabetically and stops at the letter G, so 38 of them are here. The full directory is 432 listings, and none of those carry a street number publicly.
- 78 documents
- DDA and BID board agendas and minutes, meeting schedules, grant guidelines, and the annual report infographic, captured from the DDA’s own document library.
What was deliberately left out
- No staff or board names appear anywhere here. The captured team page is archive-dated, and putting someone’s name and title on a demonstration site without re-verifying it is not a risk worth taking with their reputation.
- No map, no pins, no walking distances, and no travel times. The catalogue gives street numbers and no geometry, and inventing coordinates for a downtown the reader knows by heart would be worse than a plain ordered list.
- No generated imagery stands in for a real sculpture. A generated picture of a named artwork at a named street number would be a fabricated record.
