SKAGIT FAMILY is a community information site for Skagit County, Washington.
ABOUT US
....is a gathering place for voices and visions. Every form of expression is invited. Every voice and vision is shared with the community free of charge. Sometimes the hat will be passed. Sometimes the community will be invited to talk to the artist directly to purchase work. Sometimes we will create something together with nothing to take home but meaning.
We will present: Graphic art - Speakers exploring ideas - Music - Dance - Poetry - Literature - Film - Sculpture - Craft - Performance...
We are not focused on the status of the artist or the status of the audience. We are interested in what is being expressed. We are interested in idea and meaning. We are interested in the development of the artist, the development of the participant and the development of the community. We are interested in bringing art and expression to Skagit that grows Skagit.
We are interested in expression that respects community and tells the stories of community.
We have some PA, digital audio, and digital video capability.
ART
We believe that every person in every community can create it.
We believe it is not rare.
We believe that we can’t afford to be without it.
We believe we all need to see it and hear it and feel it so that we remember to do it.
IDEAS
We are focused on presenting ideas that help families feel powerful when they try to solve their problems. We believe art is often small and always nearby.
SMALL
We are not interested in big. We are intersted in ideas that can fit in a room seating no more than 35 humans. We believe that often... the smallest ideas are the most important.
FAMILY
This is a small multi-purpose space where healing takes place.
The art is not "about that" healing place.
The art here is the healing place.
