SPACEcraft

“The spirit of this project is to foster community through a county-wide traveling art experience by transforming and activating public places. By bringing interactive art to the community, we encourage our residents to have a personal experience with the art. In doing so, we aspire to create a legacy of communal participation and ownership across Pinellas County.”
– Creative Pinellas 2018

SPACEcraft was one of five proposals presented to a public arts panel selected by Creative Pinellas, and in Dec. 2018 this project was selected for activation.

An original work conceived and produced by artists Carrie Boucher, Bridget Elmer, and Mitzi Jo Gordon, SPACEcraft traveled throughout Pinellas County for three years with the support of Creative Pinellas and the Pinellas County Board of County Commissioners. Learn more at the link in our bio.

Socially engaged art is collaborative and participatory, with the shared act of creation as its focus. The connections it builds are the core of the practice, and the product is engagement. Any artifact made in the moment — like a clay pot or a paper bag puppet — is simply evidence of time spent together.

Holding space for open-ended exploration invites curiosity, encouraging people to think of themselves in new ways as makers and artists.
