The Lake Worth Global Justice Group will open a warehouse October 1st in Palm Beach County, 60 miles north of Miami. The purpose? To bring together community groups in South Florida by building props, puppets, bikes, things that flutter delicately in the wind, mobile stages and whatever else you can imagine.
This is a call out to socially conscious artists and art collectives to travel here and collaborate with us.
The Fine Print — We are a small bunch here in Lake Worth, but we would like to help house you, feed you, and get you a bike, if you are interested in participating. We love kids, so if you are a parent, bring the tykes along, too.
Palm Beach County is warm and toasty in November, with avocados and citrus as far as the eye can see.
Get In Touch ASAP. Lake Worth Global Justice Group: (561) 547–6686 or sfglobaljustice@yahoo.com
