We co-create with audiences and commit to authentically sharing power with audiences as an embodiment of democracy.

We are place-based, see relationship as art, center our “audiences,” — not only self-expression — and center joy as fundamental.

We design for and serve public space — like streets, sidewalks, and parks.

We aim to spark hopeful, concrete co-actions that our communities can take to transform frustration, fear, sorrow, confusion, unknowns, or uncertainty into solutions.

Authenticity, lived experience, whole personhood, and bodiliness.

Artists and organizers — many of us among them — have been working on the street long before this program existed. We’re listening to develop a “blueprint” to open-source structures behind Street Works.

Practitioners of climate solutions are all around us. We need each other, and we need joy, inspiration, and the freedom of imagination to keep going.

What we eat, how we breathe, how we rest, how we love are all connected to mother Earth. And our conversations around justice, environmentalism, health, climate, wealth, and more can be re-woven with our local, personal priorities and joys.
