Side Street Projects is mobile artist run organization that connects artists to communities. We do this through programs that nurture relationships to promote creativity, wellbeing and the potential for collective growth.

“The Woodworking Bus” teaches children design and fabrication. We lead local 2nd graders on public art walking tours and that inspire collaborative public art for the schools. Every Saturday we host free Skill Shares and Artist Projects.

Everything we do encourages creative problem solving in a hands-on art-making context, which is reflected in our unusual operating model. Our offices are solar powered vintage trailers and modified shipping containers. We use mobility to meet folks where they are. We believe that deep collaboration between community, government agencies, and organizations makes our whole greater than the sum of its parts. We maintain a horizontal dialogue with our artists and community that continuously shapes the organization and its programs.
