Mission: Machine project is a place for artists to do fun experiments, together with the public, in ways that influence culture. Machine project provides direct support to artists whose work inspires audiences to imagine new ways of engaging art, culture, science, and community. Machine project transforms and repurposes our storefront gallery and other public spaces for creative use and civic discourse. In these spaces we encourage risk taking and experimental forms of cultural production.
