West Bank Market Starts Saturday!
Stop by the empty lot on Cedar Avenue (next door to WBSC) on Saturday from 10 - 3PM for the first in a new series of monthly market days being put on by folks in the neighborhood. This market might not have the contrived atmosphere glitz of local art fairs, or the foot traffic of our awesome farmers’ markets, but it will have vendors selling art, clothing, jewelery, second-hand items, used...

Interested in creative community work on the West...
Some folks working out of the Bryan Coyle Center are looking for help this summer from artists who might be interested in youth mural and art projects, i.e. painting art on balusters, garbage cans, utility boxes, etc.
If you’re interested, contact them directly, or let us know if you want us to connect the dots.

Starting in April, MAW will be moving in and coordinating an Artist Residency Program. Visiting artists from the Twin...

(Thank you to those who donated the organ, the candy dispenser, and the weird ceramic teapot/coat hook that keeps appearing in the office).
Over the past months there have been a number...

The kind of stuff we think about.
I was recently asked about event planning.

What I’m more and more interested in lately is why people come together. The programs I work on, which often manifest as events of one type or another, are a response to this. My...
