• A series of collaborative events that brings local art-makers, creators, and the curious together for one night.
• Each event is produced around an exhibition of community artists, and unfolds to provide a space for others to show work and to uncover what other creative locals are doing.
• It’s a place for collaboration and contemplation, networking with art-makers and socializing with neighbors, creating an opportunity to connect with the local creative community at large.

• Frame what you have done and why.• What is next?• What have you learned?• Convey the development and trajectory of your project
from the initial planning phase to its final execution.• What is the community you are working with?• What/Who are the stake holders in your projects?• You should contextualize your work in a professional
manner to the community you are working in but also address how is your project a part of the discourse of critical engagement with the community that this class seeks to achieve.
• This course is designed around art that intersects with people and communities that may exist outside the “art world” where do you locate your project on this spectrum?
• Is it art? Why or how is it art?• Think back to the readings we have discussed in class to
help you formulate your ideas and contextualize your work.•
