Collective Practices Through Art
Ideas for more localized connection through creative practice

  • Art markets where part of proceeds are donated to local mutual aid fundraisers

  • 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
