Over the past three years, we''ve tripled our attendance, doubled our budget, and, most importantly, established deep and diverse relationships with community members, artists, and organizations across Santa Cruz County.

What happens when a formal art museum invites a group of collaborative, participatory artists to be in residence for a year?
