THE OFFICE performing arts + film has joined forces with ArtsBuild, which will serve as the Culture Hub, and the Lyndhurst Foundation, which has provided funding, to undertake an Artists At Work activation focused on climate resilience in the Thrive Region, comprised of 16 counties across northeast Alabama, northwest Georgia, and southeast Tennessee. ArtsBuild will host five artists, each in collaboration with a local social impact initiative.

Tanqueray Harper - Creative Arts Guild

Rob Winslow - Green Spaces

2$ON The Prince - Trust for Public Land

Mary Barnett - Sequatchie Cove Farm

Monica Ellison - Thrive Regional Partnership

The program is reaching its 3 month mark and the artists are starting to propose projects that incorporate the established efforts of their partners, their own artistic practice, and we hope to involve the local communities of the region.

On June 7th @ 2:30pm we will have our work share as a cohort at the Barking Legs Theater. This will be an opportunity to gather in person and openly discuss ideas and experiences with AAW thus far.
