Imagination Within a
One-Mile Radius
Our fun guide helps neighbors discover constructive efforts, activities, and accomplishments in their community.
These films, talks, and tours explore how we benefit from artists, environmentalists, and community builders.
Our Q&As explore the multiple intelligences, empathy, and divergent thinking nourishing your community.
Working with schools, libraries, parent/teacher orgs, arts groups, environmental organizations, and healthcare experts, we produce local film(s) that document the impacts of local common-sense practices.
We show the films at the center of a neighborhood radius—libraries, community centers, and schools.
Exploring Your Radius
Artists, environmentalists, and community builders bring unique context to their community. Our films feature parents, curators, educators, and mental health experts discussing potent hyperlocal contributions. Our intergenerational conversations help neighbors see familiar faces and places through new perspectives.
Discovering the smallest impact of local imagination sparks intriguing questions that energize communities with new possibilities.
Our list of Radiuses spans the five Boroughs of NYC and beyond. Families exploring their radius, and others, gain fresh perspectives and new directions for their neighborhood.
