What is a Community?

Essential Arts' first program, Bilocal is a "local arts" exchange between Seattle and New Orleans.  Asking "What is community?" the program brings together writers, designers, filmmakers, and musicians from each city to create new work on the theme.

The program premiered with readings and performances at Town Hall Seattle in November 2010, as well as with a concurrent exhibit at Tether Design Gallery. In November 2011 the performers will present in New Orleans, for the second half of the program.

And because we believe in results, the program will send proceeds to The Lens, a non-profit doing investigative journalism in the Gulf.
