Our Services
Consultation
We’re committed to creating inclusive and accessible public spaces that support the needs of a community. We have worked as consultants for the development of several large scale public art projects, architectural designs for public spaces, artist residencies, community programs and engagement processes.
Design
Our designs are unique works of art, informed by extensive studies of art, culture and nature. We facilitate a community driven process for designing public works of art through development of creative and engaging public programs.
Education
We believe the arts are a catalyst for thinking, expression and connection; providing an inclusive way to explore various themes and subjects for all types of learners. Our unique curriculum allows students to experiment with materials and techniques as they investigate the world around them using an inquiry based approach. We encourage collaboration and creative problem solving through art making and educational workshops for all ages.
Community Engagement
As public artists we value the process of community engagement, with the belief that neighbor-informed community development comes from relationship building, story sharing, and investment of resources. Every neighborhood has artists, creatives, activists, families, and young people, who hold community history, knowledge, and expertise on the priorities, concerns, strengths, and challenges of the area. We approach community engagement with a commitment to flexibility, discovery, and curiosity with the goal to create platforms for community participation in a design process. We focus on a process-based approach that requires commitment from partnering organizations; prioritizing responses to neighbors’ needs and interests, rather than pre-determining the outcome. We do this in a warm, welcoming, and fluid way through creation of public programs, events and arts based workshops.
Fabrication
Using a variety of techniques we have fabricated over 60 interior and exterior public works of art ranging in size and complexity. We work in partnership with our clients and the public to transform ideas into works of art that are educational and engaging.
Each of our members have over 15 years of experience initiating community engagement through the creation of public art. Our services have been rendered in partnership and collaboration with schools, community organizations, arts organizations, museums, universities, city entities and individuals in various U.S. cities and internationally.
