Now open: a pop-up museum Temporary home at forrealflies.com

The rooms are open. The walls are waiting.

The Galleries

First exhibits coming soon. Be in the opening show.

These rooms are real spaces in a museum that is just getting dressed. We have not hung any work yet — and we will not invent any. When the first handmade pieces arrive, they will go on these walls, with the maker's own words beside them.

Be a Founding Contributor and help us open the first show.

Room one

Paintings

Canvas, cardboard, plywood, murals, drawings, and hand-made signs — work a person painted or drew about the people and moments of our time.

This wall is waiting. Be in the opening show.

Room two

Sculpture & Craft

Wood, metal, clay, found objects, quilts, textiles, banners, and other work made by hand in three dimensions or with a needle.

This pedestal is reserved for a Founding Contributor

A pedestal, for now. Bring something made by hand.

Room three

Folk Songs

Original songs, lyrics, and recordings — written after the evening news, on a porch, or on the way home from a march.

A lyric sheet, still blank

“The first song hasn't been sung here yet.”

Room four

Live Performance

Music, poetry, street theater, and other performances made for a crowd, a corner, or a kitchen.

The stage

The house is open. The stage is yours.

Now showing: the opening night, still uncast

Room five

Protest Archive

Photos, video, and first-hand stories of recent historic protests. Please blur the faces of minors, and of people who did not consent to being identified. Don't name private individuals. Public figures and organizers speaking publicly are fine.
