AnySquared A nonprofit 501c3 artists collaborative & network that supports/produces/promotes projects+activities Our studio days are our most vital incubation space.

AnySquared Arts is a nonprofit 501c3 collaborative & artistic network. Propelled by a deep sense of cooperation with artists, neighbors and the wider community, our mission is to support, produce and promote collaborative projects that arts activities through inclusive participation. Our foundation is built upon the idea that we can do anything as long as we do it together. AnySquared is a people

-powered collective providing space and mentorship for artists to begin, continue, and further their skills and develop projects. Our collaborative practice is deeply rooted in skillshare and mutual aid. We provide opportunities to artists and community members through a wide variety of exhibitions, screenings, markets, murals, and festivals. The desired outcome of the project is to develop artistic skills in addition to community impact. AnySquared has met for "Studio Day Wednesdays" almost every Wednesday for the last 12 years. We make relationships and art together, engage in discussions, and plan events. AnySquared has coordinated many visual art exhibits that regularly featured artwork from local artists and community members looking to become more active in the arts. For AnySquared, our cultural labor is our wealth. We've created sizeable visual art productions on a minuscule budget because we are willing to make every project happen with our labor. We function through our volunteers, in-kind donations, and other self-sustaining efforts. AnySquared believes in transparent administration, so we make sure to share all of our expertise and resources with our collaborators. Artists who work with AnySquared get to work on some fun projects and pick up marketing, fundraising, production, and strategic planning skills.
