Each location for FLEET will bring different contexts and opportunities for arts and culture programs. FLEET programs are guided by place, local community needs, and how to best advocate for and alongside ongoing arts and culture activities in each location. FLEET explores collaborative models for how the studios are used, engaged with, and activated over the course of the studio’s stay in a location.
Programs are delivered by a small team consisting of artists, arts workers, curators, planners, and architects. The team’s approach is to build and sustain responsive, respectful, and reciprocal relationships with artists, community partners, municipalities, and the public with a priority of removing and/or reducing systemic barriers to access FLEET as a resource.
The inaugural year of FLEET programming reflects these ongoing relationships through the lenses of care and community.
Upcoming Programs
Visiting Artist: Kevin Orlosky
Join FLEET visiting artist Kevin Orlosky to make a life-sized cyanotype portrait in Edmonds Park. This FREE fun and hands on process will result in a blue and white photo on fabric that shows the silhouette of your body, and any other object used to create the composition.
Visiting Artists: UNNAMED BAND & Other Ways
In August and September, two art collectives will be sharing the FLEET: Edmonds studio: Unnamed Band & Other Ways.
