We partner with collaborators across mediums to create original performances and events with an emphasis on innovating our relationship to physical space. Deer Bear Wolf is a non-profit organization that supports and empowers Atlanta creatives. Current Projects:

Emergency Assistance to Artists

We seek to award grants to provide emergency assistance in the case of unanticipated hardships. It is i

mperative to protect emerging artists from life emergencies that they are uniquely susceptible to, including medical hardship, financial hardship, and loss of equipment necessary to their creative ventures. Musician Grants

This grant is available to independent Atlanta musicians across genres for recording or tour assistance, merchandising, and marketing. The grant will be one of the first of its kind in Atlanta to offer monetary support to emerging and mid-career musicians, enabling them to continue producing their own work. Transgression

Transgression is a live, immersive literary series that teams up creatives from various disciplines, including writers, artists, musicians, and actors. Transgression was named “Best Way to See Literary Characters Come to Life” by Creative Loafing in 2015. Deer Bear Wolf Magazine Issue #5

Deer Bear Wolf Magazine is a periodical that chronicles and showcases work by Atlanta-based artists, writers, photographers, journalists, and other creatives. Deer Bear Wolf was voted “Best Local Zine” in 2015 and “Best Local Lit Publisher” in 2015 & 2016.

This week on To Whom It May Concern. Episode 9: Remodeling White Interiors Or Burning Down the House that Shame Built by Melissa Word (.word)

Let us imagine Whiteness as an inherited house, built on stolen land by the labor of a stolen people. A shelter passed down through the generations, once assumed to be sturdy, now requiring an assessment of what’s been left to languish and rot in the basement.

What is this foundation really made of?

There’s a leak in the roof now, and storms raging outside come pouring in, they shall be felt.

Walk with me through these corridors, and let us see what we have here.
