BigTown 2025: Celebrating 25 Years of Community Programming with a Powerful Summer of Art, Film, and Dialogue
Help Us With Our Fundraising Goal of $25,000
To commemorate this special anniversary, BigTown is thrilled to collaborate with Kyle Bergman, founder of the Architecture & Design Film Festival, to present three immersive community gatherings this summer. These events will spotlight the themes of community building, activism, and innovation, and are designed to enrich the conversations sparked by BigTown’s summer exhibition, Being Here Now, and the second annual My Place Photography Workshop.
We invite you to join us this summer for inspiration and community. Your participation and financial support is so important to the future of our programming.
Thank you so much!
