Our work has evolved over 30 years, from a focus primarily on arts education and land transformation to a broader and more intentional commitment to increasing residents’ access to tools for creative self-actualization. We offer an alternative to traditional community development by bringing disparate stakeholders together around common interests and seek innovative approaches, whether through the use of new technologies or through engagement with artists and community partners who are leaders in the field of social practice.
