** OUR WEB DESIGNER IS HARD AT WORK, THE NEW AND IMPROVED SITE WILL LAUNCH BY THE FALL !!!
.
Creative Migration is a non-profit organization serving as a globalized platform for emerging interdisciplinary art.
.
Our latest endeavor is an online documentary series. The first episodes will feature the PDX collective Red76 and their ongoing project on the concept of “Revolutionary Spirit.” From September 21st through the 27th, they will set up a collective editorial office in an old existing tavern within the Park Avenue Armory in NYC. The publication manufactured will concern “how politics enters into our everyday lives, and how our everyday lives can effectively alter our political system.” The finished newspapers will be a part of the Printed Matter bookfair October 23rd through the 26th in NYC. This also in association with Creative Time’s DEMOCRACY IN AMERICA project.
Sam Gould (of Red76): “But, the thrust of things will be the role that taverns, and pamphleteering within them, have aided in the creation of democratic speech and political change within American history. And, with that in mind, using this historical model to discuss important sociopolitical topics of the day to then disseminate around the country in print and online.”
Anyone can join us to be a part of this project, your voice is needed, so please come on out! These episodes will launch this Fall - stay tuned for something really great !!!

Creative Migration – online documentary series
* * to inspire action by taking action ourselves …
How do they do it? In the face of a harsh economy, political unrest and war, these individuals pursue their dreams, with little or no money involved at first, in order to create a life worth living. To enjoy what they do, to create because they have to, not for any other reason.
Here is a collective of inspiring individuals who just keep at it, day after day, chasing the dream and sometimes catching it. These are stories of friends, strangers, members of a community at large, who can’t help but create, take action, change lives: one by one, bit by bit.

BACKGROUND:
The idea of Creative Migration took shape in 2004 through travels covering Europe, Asia and Australia. We are currently based in Los Angeles.
Our organization serves as a catalyst for global artistic distribution, providing opportunity for artists to engage with audiences beyond their established sphere. In turn, new audiences are formed; discovering who these artists are, their creative process and how are they achieving their goals. As a result of this exchange, inspired fledgling artists and cultural pioneers alike can join together and collaborate in ways never imagined!
In 2005, Creative Migration was a cultural sponsor for Italian director/actor Asia Argento at the New York Underground Film Festival. Her film, THE HEART IS DECEITFUL ABOVE ALL THINGS (based on the JT Leroy novel), won the award of Best Feature that year. Programming for the Creative Incubation Process began in 2006 working with emerging independent filmmaker Natalia Garcia and her short film, THE MASQUERADE. Now, that development continues with emerging filmmaker, Matthew Hollis Schoenbaum, and his short film, NEVER NO LONGER.
Creative Migration, Inc. is a not-for-profit, tax-exempt corporation chartered in 2005 in the State of California. Activities of the organization are supported by contributions from individuals, corporations, foundations and government agencies. Contributions are tax-deductible under section 501(c)3 of the Internal Revenue Code.
