Check out the NEW website:
Func-artCommons.org
Func-artCommons will explore community-focused art-sharing by setting up lending collections for functional objects of art and design. Objects added to a local “artCommons” will be available to borrow and use. Func-artCommons will help communities in Kansas City to discover and share their resources beginning with the use and appreciation of locally made, functional things.
Func-artCommons builds on the artCommons project currently being developed in New York City, and is similarly shared under CC BY-NC-SA.
Support for this work is provided by a Rocket Grants project award, a program of the Charlotte Street Foundation and the University of Kansas Spencer Museum of Art. Funding is provided by the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts.
