Huge thank you to Siena Cohen and for the feature on this year's Immersive Performance Tours of Gowanus! 🌎☀️We are grateful to get to share these unique tours of the Gowanus neighborhood every year, merging art, history, and activism, in the name of community celebration and organization.

As Lynn shared with Siena in the article, '“I wanted to use what I saw on the ground here in Gowanus,” (she) told me, to create a “visual language for the power of community activism.”' 🌎

Thank you Siena for shining a light on these tours and what they mean! Check out the full article at the link

Artichoke Ambassador Kate (Kate Parker) talked to us at the summer intensive about the ongoing question many creatives are asking these days: How do I make art that MATTERS?

We unpack this question in depth during our Artichoke Ambassador modules, discussing how we can not only make art that matters, but make art that makes a difference.
