Pollyanne Birge of the Office of Neighborhood Services & Madison Merica, artist

Our guests this week are Pollyanne Birge of the City of Spokane’s ⁠Office of Neighborhood Services⁠ as well as independent artist ⁠Madison Merica.⁠

Pollyanne Birge & Madison Merica

Pollyanne and Madison came in to talk about This Is Spokane: A Civic Guide for Neighbors, which is a new zine that the city has put out to help residents get a better fix on how local government works. Madison was the lead artist on that project.

They talk about what a zine is, why it was a really good medium for this kind of content, and how it’s one a few different arts-related tools that the city’s using to increase civic engagement.

A big thanks to our episode sponsor, the ⁠Northwest Museum of Arts and Culture⁠. The new nationally touring exhibition Preston Singletary: Raven & The Box of Daylight opens there today. Visit the MAC’s website for tickets and more details.
