So Much Happened Here

Wrap-up of our summer interventions:

Reading In Public (RIP)
Reading In Public (RIP!) was formed to celebrate the written word by way of community performance in public spaces.

-- We were mobile. We read. We laughed. We smiled. We determined reading is not a lost Art.

Situational Curation:

We formed our own collective of ephemeral art interventionists.

-- Nothing Happened Here is a full-circle gesture to place art in an entirely unusual and unexpected context. All we leave behind are smiles.

THANK you for a phenomenal summer.
