Blueprints

A cabinet of drawers on the sidewalk. Leave art in a drawer and flip the tab to say TAKE ART. Somebody else takes it home. There are no other rules.

Old bicycles are rescued, made roadworthy, and decorated until each one has a personality and a name. Then the community owns them.

Bring a cake that represents you and get crochet lessons in return.

A room full of strangers learns one pop song in three-part harmony in a single evening, sings it once for the camera, and goes home.

Sewing from the absolute beginning: how to thread the machine, how to change the stitch, taught by neighbors.

A tent, some bunting, and everyone on the block baking the same thing on the same afternoon. Judged kindly and enjoyed by neighbors.

A knitting circle with a mischievous public mission: wrap the neighborhood's cold, ignored metal in color.
