Together, using art and culture as tools, we reimagine and rehearse what’s possible for our city and beyond. Once a quarter, QC Family tree will gather artists, culture bearers, and civic leaders for a time of creative praxis: action and reflection. During themed community gatherings, creatives will wrestle, imagine, and experiment with integrating creative practice and social change.
