The Stone Soup Project
by anneStone Soup is a membership based organization committed to three areas of focus which are the arts, community and affordable housing; within these areas we strive for self-sustaining and economically accessible spaces and educational activities which are open to neighbors, activists, community groups, and artists. Inspired by principles of inclusion, collective participation, and universal affordability, we will be an example of how creative community development of and for the people can stimulate local economies without resorting to gentrification.
Our Vision is to own a building in which artists, activists and community members can create a space that meets and honors the needs of the community. We envision office and studio space, venue space for shows, an art gallery, a cooking space for food not bombs and other groups, a lending library, a place for groups to have meetings, and live/work space for artists.
Right now we are in the process of narrowing building choices which are located in the Main South area of Worcester as well as incorporating as a 501-c3 non-profit corporation in hopes that we will buy a building in the upcoming months.
If you are interested in joining the process we meet the first and third Wednesday of the month at 7pm. The location varies so stay tuned.
OUR NEXT MEETING WILL BE Wednesday October 19th @ 7pm at 9 Castle St, Apt. #3
