Street Works grew from the belief that joyful experiences of democracy can spark participation, and that artists are uniquely equipped to design those pathways. In two years, more than 5 long term collaborations have emerged through this design practice -- and many of them were sparked by Street Work Earth, our annual festival dedicated to art, justice, and climate action!

Many dozens of community workers, artists, and volunteers make the festival -- from lending time to lending materials. Street Works does not have a paid staff, and we rely on participants to cover basic costs, and honor artists and community organizers for thousands of hours they've put into building this community.
