Our mission is to create space(s) to showcase the complex and beautiful nuances of avant-garde art, that may not otherwise exist in more traditional, dedicated places. Continuing in the footsteps of Fluxus avant-gardists, we want to highlight contemporary, experimental art spanning a range of media from video and sound to poetry and performance and everything in between.

We do not exist within the confines of a single brick and mortar building; rather, we occupy existing spaces (be it a park, residence or gallery) to create an ephemeral, collective experience fostering creativity, connectivity & conversation.

Inspired by the rich history and creative energy of Asbury Park – on the uniquely awesome Jersey Shore – we are always looking for strong peripheral voices from near and far. And if you have a space you’d like to share with us, we’d love that too.

So please reach out! Nothing makes us happier than building a community by connecting and collabing with fellow humans. Email and IG contact info below.
