We’re excited to share that our founder, Alana Kolundzija, has been selected to exhibit a digital collage from her Taking Up Space series in Power of Place: Art and the Semi-Quincentennial at Glen Echo Park’s Popcorn Gallery. ✨

At Collective Impact, we believe that creating more just and equitable futures requires not only research, strategy, and collaboration, but also imagination. Creative practice offers another way to question dominant narratives, foster dialogue, and envision new possibilities.

Taking Up Space reimagines iconic civic spaces as places of belonging, visibility, and collective possibility, inviting us to consider who feels welcome in the landscapes that shape our shared stories. At a moment when America’s 250th anniversary has been overridden by narratives that feel narrow and exclusionary, we’re especially grateful to be part of an exhibition and in conversation with other artists contributing to more expansive and inclusive visions of our shared future.

If you’re in the DC area, we’d love to see you at the opening reception this Friday, July 3, from 6 to 8 PM.

✨CALL FOR CREATIVE SUBMISSIONS✨

After hosting the first cohort of our Creative Co-Lab, a virtual co-working series designed to spark creativity alongside people from around the world, it became clear that many of us are craving opportunities to collaborate, connect, and contribute to something meaningful.

We’re now inviting submissions for the inaugural edition of FLARE, a digital zine showcasing expressions of our creative force. This zine is a collective space to gather and share how people across the globe are finding meaning and tending to hope in their own ways.

We’re curious about:
🌿 As the world continues to shift around us, how are you cultivating hope?
🔥 What rituals, or ways of being are helping you nurture your spark?
💧 What are you practicing to stay soft, steady, present?

We invite submissions including, but not limited to:
◦ Photos and videos
◦ Short essays and stories
◦ Songs, poetry, and dance
◦ Drawings, paintings, collage, and weaving
◦ Personal rituals, remedies, recipes, and practices
◦ Forms of healing or community and self-care
◦ Chants, mantra, and affirmations
◦ An outfit that makes you feel powerful
◦ Art, writing, or experiences that have held or inspired you

Submitting to FLARE isn’t just about sharing your work, it’s about placing it within a living, breathing ecosystem of ideas, where it can spark connection, reflection, and unexpected collaboration across borders. Contributors become part of a collective archive while gaining creative momentum, and the possibility for their work to resonate in ways they couldn’t have anticipated alone.

For those interested in collaborating on a joint submission, we’ll be organizing sessions to share ideas. More details to follow…

Deadline: June 30, 2026
