Collective Practices Through Art - Possibilities & Realities

inspired by what folks have already created and what could be. Ideas for more localized connection through creative practice

• Art markets where part of proceeds are donated to local mutual aid fundraisers
• Small art markets in community member's backyards

• More physical space for art by people at the margins - Art by imprisoned people, sex workers, poor people, refugees + undocumented people
• Funds for free art classes for marginalized people

• collective created zine with local community or online community around a shared interest and/or shared experience
• zine reading club - each person brings fave zines and/or their own zines
• Community supports zine funds through monthly memberships for local zine distro
• Zines with open calls around issues the city is currently facing, or a city-wide campaign on the ballot

• Free art shows in public spaces, in parks - public space for the public
• Free art making in a public space (+ dance, music too)
• Sketching / making art together at a local business, featuring community artists that are more well known

• Street theater / street theater performances around political issues
• Call out for anyone to submit art to bring attention to current issues / fundraisers

• sharing physical art through mail with small network of people (mail art)
• crafting email newsletter featuring creative, political work by local folks

• Community-run Skill shares
• Collective Funds for liberation-focused murals
• Collective funds for art supplies - raffles for art
• Shared risograph printer

• Political education through art workshops, topics that community requests or related to current collective events
• Student-run political education through art projects
