Our Mission:
We are a Boston-based creative action collective connecting artists, organizers, and communities in order to bolster existing immigration, climate, AI regulation, and other community-based justice work. We build relationships, host gatherings and workshops, support justice-based art projects, and help local organizations collaborate with artists in ethical, community-centered ways, along with providing resources for public-facing creative works.
We are helping Boston connect its thriving community of artists, organizers, cultural spaces, and community campaigns to each other with the shared goal of collective action. We exist to help build the relationships, shared tools, and gathering spaces that make collaboration easier, more ethical, and more joyful.
Theory of Change:
Boston has a thriving community of artists, justice organizations, cultural spaces, and community campaigns, but they are often disconnected or siloed. Justice organizations need compelling creative tools to move people, artists need pathways into meaningful and fairly compensated justice work, and communities need art practices that help them gather, grieve, imagine, celebrate, and act.
We build a Boston-based network that connects artists, organizers, and communities through open calls, gatherings, art builds, creative action support, workshops, and paid commissions.
When artists and justice organizations build trust before crisis moments, they can collaborate faster, more ethically, and more beautifully. Art makes campaigns more visible, emotionally resonant, participatory, and accessible.
