This is a special gathering dedicated to youth ages 10 to 18 (or there abouts) to provide an opportunity to visit with each other, eat some food and talk about what they are experiences during this time of uncertainty. Parents and older family members are welcome to hang out and visit as well in a separate room as we are guessing they may also want to share with other parents.

Youth are welcome to talk about whatever is on their minds. One adult will be present to help support the discussion within safe bounds but will otherwise will not try to guide the conversation. Our hope is that the group may want to continue to visit where their conversations can go farther.

Please RSVP below. This activity is intended to build belonging and familiarity while we all work to move through difficult times.

This first activity is limited to 12 youth at this time.   Questions can be directed to info@in-progress.org.

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.

In Progress will be holding its 1st Quarter Board Meeting Monday January 19th via zoom. The meeting will be virtual and will cover much of the internal oversight that our board members have embraced regarding the functionality and form of our organization.

Our board of 7 officially meets 4 times a year, but we often hold special sessions, committee activities and visits with funders and community leaders. Our board is amazing. It is representative of our partner communities and artistic disciplines. Our board is cooperative and some of our greatest advocates of storytelling.

Though we don’t typically entertain guests during our meetings, we always post our minutes. If you would like to read up on past minutes you can review them by CLICKING HERE!
