Friends of This Collective Pull

This Collective Pull has been hibernating! Bea was in the mountains of Georgia for six weeks at the Hambidge Center and Julie has been working it in the fashion world. So - in an effort to post more often on this here blog - and to help spread the love (which is really what This Collective Pull is all about) we are going to start posting the endeavors/exhibits/projects/etc of friends of This Collective Pull, as well as our own news. This project was always about creating community and encouraging others to do the same. If you have any news you'd like to share, an upcoming event or would like us to help spread the word of a project you're working on - please send it our way! Nothing is too big or too small, and you don't have to have exhibited under the This Collective Pull name - you just need to be groovin' to the same tune and in to the whole community thing. You also don't need to be a visual artist...anyone contributing to the Massachusetts creative scene is welcome! Also, if you send us a jpeg image we'll put it in our sidebar with a link to the event's website or blog for the duration of the event. Dig? Send thoughts on over to this.collective.pull@gmail.com.

So, first up: PAPERGIRL NORTHAMPTON

Now unless you have been hiding out in a cave somewhere (and maybe even then) you should know about this project that began in Berlin in 2006. It has since become a global endeavor and has now found a home in Western Massachusetts thanks to our friends at Now.For.Art.
