Our Mission
We welcome the community members of Pioneer Valley to take part in our annual artist sprint, which invites submissions of short films, short documentaries, play scripts, and other forms of art that tackle local policy issues.
Our festival pairs local artists with nonprofits and advocacy groups across the Pioneer Valley. In just one week, these artists will create original short works inspired by their mission, highlighting important policy work on a grassroots level.
The finalized work will be presented to a live audience in our vibrant art festival. We bring together community members, local legislators, and civic leaders across the Valley to watch the final products. Winning plays and films will be announced, followed by a networking reception to facilitate community among grassroots organizers and their constituents, ultimately creating more human-driven policy change.
