MOBILE ARTIST INCUBATOR

In the spring of 2025, we are launching our Mobile Artist Incubator, a multi-year creative exploration that will take place over a series of train and bus rides throughout the United States, with special emphasis on the Great Lakes Region. Featured creatives are residents of Detroit, Michigan and Chicago, Illinois.

Each cohort will consist of artists who will leverage their unique talents to collaborate on, and ultimately produce an anthology of poetry, literary and visionary art calling for visionary resistance in the age of creative restriction, co-option, and surveillance and repression of our civil liberties and human rights. The series is a mobile continuation of our longstanding Poetry as Visionary Resistance series, which serves as a political education series while sharpening creative practice and boosting artist participation in the issues that affect our communities.
