JACK started as a garage. We used it to
create a home for emerging artists,
and now, six years later, we present over 200 performances a year.
And part of the vision was for JACK to be a space where our neighbors feel at home,
so that we can truly say that JACK belongs to the community.
Collaboration is really at the core of what we are doing at JACK.
We've had some really great relationship-building experiences with folks at our
Senior Center, local neighbors,
activists doing really amazing work that we value. And so those people have really inspired
our programming, our steps and our
thinking around how we do what we do.
It feels important in this moment to offer
space for people to be heard
and to take risks -- to be themselves and even more important to center voices of those who are marginalized.
We're really grateful to be a part of a movement of smaller organizations,
arts organizations, cultural organizations,
who are really looking to move beyond survival and thrive.
If we're able to build enough support and connect with enough people
aligned with our vision
of what this city could be, we know that we'll be able to effect real change.
We're continuing to make choices and
decisions with our community
that we think are helping to shape the society that we all want to live in.
