We work with museums, community advocates and non-arts organizational partners across the state. We travel exhibitions, bring artist-led projects to galleries, vacant lots, uninhabited buildings and yards all over the south. We also support the creation of new spaces rooted in a local identity, and built for long term sustainability.
