About AIR

Your Voice Matters

We are talking about VOICE. Your voice matters – See something, Say Something.

Print has always been a vehicle for voice, and we have organized a bunch of screens with various words and slogans and images and icons that you can use to help you express your thoughts about the current landscape.

Make a print, make a poster, make a sign and take it home or take it to the next event you attend. We will provide ideas, paper, ink, and the sticks to staple your sign to.

An AIR crew of artists and activists and printers will be available to discuss ideas, help you turn them into prints during our Friday night Open Studio.

Friday Night Open Studio 

Join us for Open Studio on Friday nights from 5-8pm.
