Stories from the Literary Project: Episode 2

Welcome to the Open Space for Arts & Community podcast! Episode two features 12 stories from The Literary Project, the third chapter of !Attention! Artists at Work, an ongoing initiative presented by Open Space for Arts & Community.

 

!Attention! Artists at Work! hires working artists to create free, public art. Prior to The Literary Project, !AAW! launched "The Mural Project" and "Distance Dance." Learn more about those and upcoming !AAW! projects online at openspacevashon.org.
