Pop Up Research Station is a consortium of art consultants who host a weekly online virtual (zoom) cafe. We have conversations about temporary public art, creative place making, pop ups, urban planning, art in storefront programming, artist owned artist housing, mutual aid, and creating a financially sustainable life doing the work we love. We envision the cafe as a portal for shared knowledge, a resource of best practices, ongoing professional development, and a place for moral support to enhance our collective impact.
