THE WEEK
Show up.
Make something.
Leave it.
Every year, a new city. Every lot gets a stage, a sculpture or a mural the neighbors asked for. Locals build it with us. It stays.
WHY EMPTY LOTS
+50%
more likely people spend time in a place once public art goes up. They linger, they talk, they come back. That's how a lot becomes a block again.

Got a big idea?
We've got a lot.
Artists, bands, welders, gardeners. We cover materials, a crew and a place to sleep.
