This Summer and Fall local art workers, thinkers, spectators and participants came together to discuss, document and respond to the intersection of art, work and economics in our communities under the heading: ART WORK Western Mass, a joint effort between C3 and Valley Art Share.

Temporary Services in Chicago inspired a nation of artists by distributing FREE newspapers about art, labor, and the economy. Hundreds were distributed locally by C3. Conversations took place on-line and in-person.

As a result...Local Arts Resources in Our River Valley* was born...just in time for the holidays!
