Local Art Groups & Spaces
This could be a list of local art groups and resources that would be worth establishing relationships with.
The Institute for Infinitely Small Things - A group that has been making art about political and social "tiny things" for more than a decade. Is involved with the tiny tents task force, and has done other projects about & with occupy.
Platform2 - "Platform2 is an experimental event series that sits somewhere between a classroom, community organizing, and 1960s happenings."
sprout & co. - "is a community education and research organization devoted to creating and supporting the community-driven learning, teaching, and investigation of science. We're united by a passion to reclaim science as a richly personal and creative craft. Through our PROGRAMS & STUDIOS, we're working to make our vision real in Somerville."
