"If we want arty communities, we need to create the conditions where the freelancers, the experimenters, the teachers, the working class and the capitalism defectors can actually survive. We need arts programming in public schools, non-employment-based health insurance, and workforce housing. It’s not magical, it’s not romantic, and we can’t mural our way there. " 👏 wise words from friend, artist, and Medford city council member Kit Collins
