In late January of this year, In Progress artists came together to listen, share and begin the first steps of planning activities of care, resistance and remembrance. As we met, we realized we were all carry a lot - I mean really a lot.

So with that said, we are beginning a series of virtual check ins where we can talk more, strategize together, and develop creative actions that feed the soul and treat the wounds.

All creatives are invited to join the conversation. We simply ask that you be open, understand that in this moment we are all volunteering, and if you agree to lead and support that you do so.

Please RSVP below. This activity is intended to build belonging and familiarity while we all work to move through difficult times. Once you RSVP you will receive a zoom meeting link.
