Program Streams

Press Pause (attention)

A series of invitations to pause in public space and be communally unproductive. Creative and playful work to pique curiosity, philosophical ideas to nudge perspectives, social and ethical anecdotes to affect. All to carve out time and space to give refuge for self care and community preservation.

In this program, artists, thinkers and community-engaged practitioners are encouraged to embed artwork, ideas and experiences within the civic space.

Art. Attend. Find. Discover. Notice. Loiter. Play. Think. Watch. Wander. Wonder

Slow Socials (Connection)

A rhythm of small social gatherings that bring folks together to discuss, engage, play, listen, create and workshop topics of interest, curiosity and shared experiences.

This program is all about connection and encouraging the gentle return of joy and ourselves to public spaces. Think book clubs, hobby crews, artist posses, writers associations, Tai chi troops, yoga factions, craft crowds.

Art. Engage. Discuss. Craft. Make. Present. Panel. Perform. Share. Tell. Workshop

Common Contributions (Your Place)

Common Contributions invites and supports community-led activities, discussions, events, workshops and presentations of work that asks us to place ourselves in the many contexts we exist. What is your place within ecologies of: attention, culture, civic, ecological, economic, social, political, history, future?

The well-being and survival of our relationships with each other, the systems and environments in which live, depends on critical reciprocity.
This is a call to reciprocate, to contribute to our communities in acts of mutual maintenance.

Art. Debate. Discuss. Exhibit. Panel. Plan. Presentation. Strategy. Talk. Workshop

Each program stream has a different focus of engagement, intention and theme. All the program streams encourage some form of connection.
