Jazz Threads
Jazz Threads is a partnership between the Champaign-Urbana community and Krannert Center for the Performing Arts to commemorate the history, celebrate the present, and build the future of the vibrant American art form of jazz on a local level. As part of a larger jazz education endeavor, Jazz Threads wanted a website that local volunteers could be a part of - and ultimately help to keep updated. OJC Technologies created the graphic identity and then built the site in WebEasel, web content management software developed by OJC. Using WebEasel, Krannert Center staff and community volunteers were able to come together at a series of "web-raisings" modeled on the old concept of barn-raisings, where a community would gather to build a barn for one of its members. The entire Jazz Threads website was built during two such gatherings.
