Broadsided Press
Broadsided Press 
Elizabeth Bradfield, Founder.
This press gets poetry and art back on the street, in the coffeehouses, on the bus or wherever you may care to post it. Beautiful, FREE broadsides to download, on current topics.  I am loving the Seeds of Aleppo by my poet friend Tiffany Higgins http://tifhiggins.blogspot.com/search/label/Poems, and art by Sarah Van Sanden, on the Syrian refugee crisis. A brilliant idea, and many diverse poets and artists represented.

concīs
concīs (aka concis) magazine| a journal of brevity
—the first project from concīs publishing—is an online and e-pub journal devoted to brevity: the succinct, pithy, condensed, laconic, crisp, compressed and compendious. It’s simple in approach and simple in design…but not simple-minded. Genre—if you believe in such labels—is unimportant: poems, prose poems, flash fictions, micro-essays, reviews in miniature, sudden fictions, haiku, tanka, American Sentences, insights, epigrams, the unclassifiable…they’re all good. These words are from editors Chris Lott, Galen Dotey and Christopher Miles. If you stream it, you get really really good poetry in your inbox or on Facebook.

Janice Lee, Executive Editor.
A wonderful compendium of an online magazine: literature, film, games, sci-fi, fantasy and more.

the Imaginists
the Imaginists
Brent Lindsay, Amy Pinto, creators. This is the most exciting theater I have ever seen. The Imaginists company produces original works, and the originality extends to every facet of production, from script and sets to music to location, etc. Every summer they make a bicycle tour in the city of Santa Rosa, and produce Arte es Medicina, a bilingual piece for children (in recent productions based on the works of Federico Garcia Lorca, Gabriel Garcia Marquez and Pedro Calderon.) The rest of the season is often experimental, intense, surprising, thoughtful and humorous work, always with a little sting of provocation.They collaborate with local community and with companies from other localities and countries.The Imaginists are constantly working toward a free theater... meaning a theater where anyone can come, for free. This year I am, proudly, on the board.

Susana Amundaraín
http://susanaamundarain.com/  
Artist, librettist, scenic designer. “Susana Amundaraín’s luminous, layered abstractions are beautiful and profound. With them this Venezuelan artist simultaneously addresses aesthetic as well as philosophical issues (…) Amundaraín has almost always made work that is non-representational. For her this is a commitment, not a fad. ”
