2) Frequencies
First round of submissions is now through 9/20 (with community events + another round to come)
• Interactive community public art project; essentially, a crowdsourced audio/visual mural that features the sounds and sights of Allston-Brighton, straight from the people who live, work, and play in this vibrant Boston neighborhood
• Maria and Allison will remix the source material into new musical compositions and glitch art videos that will be projected on the Harvard Ed Portal’s facade from November through February

3) Digital Soup Art Calls
Ongoing
• Digital Soup—and its team, the Digital Soup Collective—offers multimedia supportive events and environments here in Boston. And is proudly part of the new Massachusetts Cultural Equity Incubator!
• I maintain a list hosted by DS that compiles upcoming art calls (particularly those geared towards digital and multimedia formats). It’s up to date and meant to be shared so more people are in the loop.
