The mission of Cultural Agents is to promote the arts and humanities as social resources. We foster creativity and scholarship that measurably contribute to the education and development of communities worldwide. Identifying creative agents of change, reflecting on best practices, and inspiring their replication, we show that creativity sustains healthy democracies by developing the moral imagination and resourcefulness in citizens.
Based at Harvard University, Cultural Agents brings together artists, educators, and community leaders in innovative collaborations that revitalize civic life both locally and internationally. Our activities feature workshops, conferences, TV programs, performances, exhibitions, and scholarly publications.

Cambridge Multicultural Arts Center to host Paper Picker Press "Gallery" and Summer Workshops
June 19th to August 15, 2008 @ 41 Second Street, Cambridge
Partnering with the Cambridge Multicultural Arts Center, we'll display one of our favorite stories alongside instructions detailing games and activities for those inclined to try out the Paper Picker Press program on their own all summer long! We invite you to compare your creative interpretations with those on display from our after-school courses, or attend a workshop hosted by Paper Picker Press artists to try it out in an interactive setting. The choice is yours; We ask only that you open yourself anew to the rewarding world of literature!
Workshops will be held July 8th (Lower School), 9th (Middle School) and 15th (Upper school) from 2-5 pm. Each program will lead you and your family in artistic explorations of literature. Have fun making your own books and crafts, performing interactive theater, narrating and creating musical pieces to develop interpretations of a short story! Literature, like the materials we'll use, is recycled material that we can continue to change and embellish in ways that expand our own expressive resources.
