Invest in Provocative Thought.

Fuel an Ecosystem.

Artist In Residence Toogie Barcelo’s Metanoia

Our first full year of operations (2024), the Center for Provocative Thought served more than 590 artists—with one half-time director powering the programming. Your support made possible:

  • Subsidized rehearsal, studio, and gathering space for artists and organizers

  • Quarterly Headshot Days, increasing access to professional tools

  • Professional development gatherings centered on care, sustainability, and collaboration

By contributing today, you’re helping build a haven for thinkers and makers—where artistic inquiry meets bold imagination and real solutions for the arts ecosystem emerge.

Your donation helps us sustain artist residencies, peer-led learning spaces, and opportunities for collective action

In our first full year, one part-half curator powered programming that served over 590 artists.

By contributing today, you become a co-creator of havens where thinkers and makers gather and real solutions for the arts ecosystem take root.
