We collaborate with artists that are alienated, marginalized, underserved, or underrepresented in communities across the United States. We fill in the gaps for artists that don’t fit into neat boxes or categories, whether that be in their practices, places, personas, or all of the above.

We produce artworks that are collaborative, community-centered, transdisciplinary, educational and entertaining. We encourage artists to break the mold and explore new possibilities because we understand change happens this way.

We support artists by providing expertise and mentorship; jointly navigating project roadblocks; and facilitating project needs. We develop singular, individual relationships with artists, and we fully commit to projects from our first conversation to final presentation of the work.

We build and cultivate a reliable network of artists that support one another. Once a project is complete, we maintain our relationship with the artist and keep open lines of communication. We understand positive change can take time, and we accept the responsibility with artists to follow through on our commitments.
