A project supported by

is a monthly conversation with a Sacramento-based artist. Shared online, in print and through a series of workshops and artist talks, we aim to demonstrate the benefits of creative problem-solving in addressing the needs of an evolving Sacramento.

To gather perspectives from Sacramento artists to alter the perception of artistic fields, from creative outlet to community asset.

To come up with new, innovative responses that are fundable and actionable.

To show the value of artistic education and its ability to expand other disciplines.

To facilitate conversation between artists, city government officials, developers, and other stakeholders on community-building endeavors.

mission

outcomesMonthly interviews:

Each month, articulator releases a long-form interview with a Sacramento-based artist, covering their work, influences, and personal history, while also moving deeper into topics related to their community, the challenges they see, and their ideas for a better and more inclusive Sacramento.

Quarterly Workshops:Featured artists, alongside topic experts, will be invited to participate in a group workshop to generate and foster ideas in response to a much-debated issue. We intend to bring together people who do not frequently interact, to share perspectives and generate fresh ideas on the given topic. These ideas are captured, cataloged, and are made public through the articulator website.

Artist Talks:Artists speak to various groups about their work, their story, and the benefits of the creative process and creative problem-solving.

Annual Publication:

A compilation of the year’s interviews with accompanying images of their work and portrait, will be published in a printed publication.
