Eggtooth Productions Presents: Activist Art Generator

Sunday, April 29, 2018, 10:00 am until 5:00 pm
10:00am- 5:00 PM. Reserve your spot!

RSVP HERE!

Purpose: To bring artists and Makers together from all different genres (theater, dance, music, fine art, photography, film, etc.) to share ideas, knowledge and make connections and relationships to create an action plan for activist art. Generative: to generate work that makes changes. Our original idea is to generate work not talk.

To determine from the artists/makers what questions/issues they want to address through their art and work with them about how they might do so. Pull from them the ideas and challenges that they want to make art about.

NOT another conference where we talk about ideas and then leave them hanging. Find each other DURING the get together and form plans right there. Where does the kick come from? We are Keeping doors open.

Our goal: to Identify and reveal creativity. To further brand the organization as a community convener that enhances the artistic dialogue in the Valley. Contact Linda at Lmciner@gmail.com for more info.

Exciting News for A Happening IV: Leviathan

Cloudgaze and Eggtooth Productions are thrilled to announce that we have received a generous grant from the Markham-Nathan Fund for Social Justice to support our 2024 Immersive Arts Festival, “A Happening IV: Leviathan.”

This festival will transform the Shea Theater into an exploration of theme, hosting installations, music, theatrical performances, and movement pieces, featuring the collective contributions of over 30 local artists. Audiences will experience otherworldly environments and narratives inspired by folklore, fairy tales, horror motifs, American literature, and the mythos of the Old Testament, all of which delve into the central question guiding the festival: "What does it mean to encounter something greater than yourself and to be consumed by it?" Through this theme, we explore how a community reemerges and imagines itself after destruction and transformation.

With the support of the Markham-Nathan Fund, we are excited to create an event that complicates perspectives and fosters meaningful dialogue. We are grateful for this partnership and for the work of the Markham-Nathan Fund for Social Justice.

Thanks to the Mass Cultural Council for their vital support this year.We'd also like to thank the Community Foundation of Western Massachusetts for their support in the form of a Flexible Funding grant. We couldn't do this work without you!
