WHAT IS THE GREATER FLINT CREATIVE ALLIANCE?
A non-profit organization working to revitalize Flint through collective creative action. But more than just that--we are artists, volunteers, community outreach, and friends, all working to make this a better place to live via our art and our passion.
More information can be found on our official website http://www.flintca.org
WHY?
Without creativity, what can we create here? Without hope, how can we truly live here? Without each other, how can we have a community? It is our hope that by bringing more art, more community service, and more life into Flint that it will create an atmosphere people will want to live in and help maintain. We are the enemies of despair and boredom.
WHO?
Artists and anyone who appreciates art - like you! We come from all backgrounds, and all artistic disciplines. From painters to poets to DJs to models to filmmakers to writers to musicians, and everything in between. We are a network of dreamers and doers, working to help the community as we help one another. And even if you just appreciate the arts and want to help make this a better place, we need you. This is not a job for a few, but a challenge for all of us.
WHEN AND WHERE?
Meetings are held at the Flint Local 432 (Flint's only all-ages punk club and legendary venue - big blue building on Buckham and First Street). We meet every Wednesday at 7 PM. We discuss our events, what each team is up to, and what we can do to help the city and each other. Minutes for each meeting are also sent out to the mailing list so all of us can keep up on what the group is up to if we can't make it to all the meetings.
We also have a radio show @ 94.3 FM WFUF every Thursday and Friday from noon til 2 PM. This is where we feature local music, artists, and give you a chance to hear bands and people making this a better place to live. If you are a Flint music maker and have clean tracks you'd like to get out and heard, message us your contact info and we'll help you out!
Also check us out on the web at WWW.FLINTCA.ORG and find out about events, members, and other info about the group.
HOW?
This is our community, even if you are not from Flint. This is a place that needs and deserves to be helped, and using our passion, our art, and our friendship, we can do just that. We are always interested in what you and the community have to say, and we welcome feedback. More than anything, though, we need friends and allies to help us make this a better place to live.
