PROGRAMS
Artists' Bloc programming is at the heart of our commitment to the artist community and their developing works. If you have a new performance piece that would benefit from peer and public feedback, 12x6 is for you. Are you a writer? Modern Scribes is here to help you through the process. To address the issues facing our artistic community and strengthen the bonds between artists we have Artists' Bloc Lounge.
New programs are constantly in development. Keep an eye out for upcoming programs like the Open Studio, Closed Studio, and Artists' Bloc Drive By.
If you have a program idea, become a member and make your mark on our community.
