ABOUT US:
Side Street Projects is an entirely mobile artist run organization. Our
mission is to give artists of all ages the ability and means to support
their creative endeavors. All of our programs connect professional artists
directly to communities.
We teach children design and fabrication through a mobile tool-based
program “The Woodworking Bus”. We present community based Socially Engaged
Artist Projects at our temporary headquarters; and off-site in
collaboration with local businesses and government agencies. These projects
are integrated into the free community programming offered on Saturdays. We
provide support services to artists with programs including a
Best-Professional Practices Podcast Series, Skill Share Workshops, and an
Equipment Co-Op.
OFFICE CULTURE:
Side Street Projects is run by a strong community of artists who are
committed to rolling up our sleeves and supporting the mission of the
organization, which includes supporting each other. We are casual but
efficient, and committed to social justice. Everything that we do
encourages creative problem solving and self-reliance within a contemporary
art context, which is reflected in our unusual operating model. Our offices
are restored vintage trailers, our communication systems are 100% wireless,
and it all runs on a mobile solar energy array. It is a little like camping
here. We have a port-o-potty and our water is trucked in. Staff has access
to our equipment co-op including our wood shop. Artists are encouraged to
use our resources to further their own art practice.
Hours can potentially be supplemented with teaching in our youth education
program.
