Thanks to Channie Jones (Program & Administrative Manager), Kurt Nettleton (Videographer), and Cheria Caldwell (Urban Design & Research Fellow), Big Car’s capacity for documentation, evaluation and programs is now larger than ever.  You’ll likely see Channie hosting events and organizing volunteers. You’ll see Kurt filming and taking pictures at every Big Car event or project. And you’ll see Channie collecting and organizing data about Big Car’s impact.

Get to know these new Big Car team members a little more:

What skills and passions do you bring to Big Car?

Channie: My love for the arts and introducing people to new experiences.

Kurt: I’m the videographer/photographer/editor, so primarily documentation skills.

Cheria: Urban planning, community engagement and my love for the City of Indianapolis.

Favorite Big Car moment so far:

Channie: Hearing people share their dreams and draw on the white picket fences for Ash Robinson’s “American Dream” art installation.

Kurt: I met an owl (at Spark Monument Circle).

Cheria: Talking to Bridgette (a woman seated outside of Starbucks) daily at Spark, getting to know her story, and purchasing the hats that she crocheted on the Circle each day.

Favorite thing about Indianapolis:

Channie: Art opportunities and events in the city.

Kurt: Probably the same thing anybody would say about any city they seem to be in for the long haul: good people.

Cheria: Because I can’t just choose one: family, friends, the Indiana Fever and the bike trails.
