Visual artists, installation artist, performance artists...poets, writers, singers, performers...activists, change agents, drummers, dancers...what is your art? How does art change the world around you, the people around you? How does art change you?

Perhaps in this group you will meet artists to collaborate with to bring to life that vision you have of a giant installation piece...perhaps in this group you will find others interested in joining together to form a troupe for street theater protesting companies that dump toxic chemicals...perhaps you will find someone who who can help you learn to frame your own artwork, sculpt with glass, add punch to your poetry, film your dancework, or perhaps you are looking to connect to artists of many disciplines and the interstitial arts of the places where the arts overlap.

Perhaps here you will find people and connections and conversations to explore what art means, and how art can be transformative. Perhaps we will join together to create murals, mosaics, and music that tells a story and invites each person participating to explore themselves. Perhaps we will explore a myth and what it can mean to us.

When is it art, when is it performance, when is it ritual, when is it secular, when is it sacred, and what does it mean?

Perhaps you find connections, collaborators, and friends.

Will you join us?
