Contemporary Folk Collaborative

Mission:

Preserve, promote, and prepare “the folk” to be successful in their creative endeavors and everyday lives.

We achieve our mission through:

Free workshops centered on financial wellness, health, creative entrepreneurship, and folk practices.
Collecting present day history and resources and providing free access by distributing it to the public via zines, social media, and installation events.
Creating a third space to be a collaborative community.
Producing live cultural and artistic events.
