# Event Details - **Event Name**: Membership Structure Bootcamp - **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 24 Oct, 2026 at 10:30 am – Sat, 24 Oct, 2026 at 01:00 pm - **Event Description**: Guided, hands-on workshop for designing membership models for organizations of various sizes.About this EventMembership Structure BootcampSymposium Track: Relational InfrastructuresPresented by Obvious AgencyA common challenge in groups and collectives are all of the things that go unsaid: What are we all agreeing to? Who gets to be part of the group? Who gets to make which decisions, and how? When we don’t answer these questions early, we can fall into resentment and conflict down the road when members realize they aren’t on the same page. In this hands-on workshop, participants will be guided through a structured process for designing membership models for groups and organizations of various scales. Participants will leave with a thorough sketch of a membership model for a project they are working on or envisioning, such as a cooperative, ensemble, collective, or other grassroots endeavor; As well as a sense of how to continue to clarify, refine, and implement their model. If possible, we highly encourage attendance from at least two members of a given group.Please note that this is workshop is masks requiredAbout the FacilitatorDaniel Park is a theatre and performance artist, facilitator, and organizer for economic justice in the cultural sector.

This collaboratively organized project bringing together more than 30 independent spaces and organizations, Collective Futures will unfold across the city through exhibitions, performances, workshops, and public programs from Kensington and North Chinatown to West Philadelphia, Fishtown, and Old City, between October 2 and November 15, 2026.At its core, Collective Futures centers collective practice as a vital mode of cultural production. Across disciplines and contexts, the project highlights how artists come together to build shared platforms, experiment with new forms, and sustain creative communities.Taking place during the 250th anniversary of the so-called United States, while many institutions in Philadelphia conjure programming around the complex histories of nation-building and democracy, Collective Futures highlights the artistic experimentation and alternative models that grassroots cultural spaces have long been buildingCollective Futures is grounded in the specific conditions of Philadelphia, where a rich ecosystem of artist-run and DIY spaces has made collaborative cultural production possible. As rising costs and development reshape the city, the project affirms the importance of collective cultural life and the infrastructures that sustain it, so that our work can mobilize resources, deepen connections, and envision transformative futures.Collective Futures is:2C Books / Marginal Utility3rd Street Gallery5U SpaceAll MutableThe Arts LeagueAsian Arts InitiativeAUTOMAT CollectiveBatikh BatikhThe Bearded Ladies CabaretBig RampBiomaterials Working GroupBYO Printmaking CollaborativeCenter for Emerging Visual ArtistsCherry St PiercinéSPEAKCity Arts Salon LLCDa Vinci Art Allianceerrata projectsFacing BenchFairmount HouseFJORDFuture Flower CollectiveFORTUNEGravy StudioGrizzly GrizzlyThe Halide ProjectHall PassIcebox Project SpaceJane GalleryLuster GalleryMemory Workers GuildMuse GalleryObvious AgencyParadigm Gallery + StudioPeep ProjectsPentimentiPeople’s Music SupplyPink Noise ProjectsPracticePrism ArtsSecond State PressSpace 1026Teils StudioTermite TV CollectiveTiger Strikes Asteroid PhiladelphiaUlisesUmbria ArtsVox PopuliThe Wooden ShoeCollective Futures is made possible with the support of the National Endowment for the Arts, the PCI Catalyst Grant, the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, Free People and the Penn Treaty Special Services District (PTSSD)." } ] } ] ```
