From August 2018 to June 2020 I served as a member of the North Adams Artist Impact Coalition, which is a group of community arts organizers who care about making North Adams, Massachusetts an amazing place for artists to live and work. I worked with a team of amazing people to organize:
quarterly North Berkshire Artist Meet-ups
a monthly e-resource (sign up here!)
the North Adams Artist Census (now closed, check back for presentation of data)
NAMA Swap-o-rama (art material exchange, post-ponded due to covid-19, check back for new date)
North Adams Rapid Response Working Capital Grant (covid-19 financial relief, DEADLINE APRIL 27, 2020)
Organizations, galleries, initiatives and individuals who are involved in the coalition include: MASS MoCA’s Assets for Artists, MCLA’s Berkshire Cultural Resource Center; the City of North Adams, Common Folk, Installation Space, Walkaway House, and several independent practicing area artists.
