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 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.
