America: Now and Here offers great art, music, drama, poetry and film to the whole country in order to invite a civil dialogue about ourselves and our nation. The work in the show will be transported across America by specially-outfitted trucks. This website invites YOU to participate now, and here!

The Pitch, a newspaper in Kansas City, voted us the Best Takeover of 2011:  “Whoever put together this touring hot mess of art and rhetoric wanted to kick it all off in Kansas City, and called damn near all the right people to do it. The tour has yet to go anywhere else, proving that we were the ones who took over U.S. arts this year.
YOUR MOVE, REST OF THE COUNTRY.”

Communities across the country have asked us to come visit!  Help us on our journey by donating and spreading the word. We want to come to your town.
