Mission: Stone Soup is a membership-based organization committed to three areas of focus: the arts, community, and affordable housing. Within these areas we strive for self-sustaining, economically accessible spaces and educational activities that are open to neighbors, activists, community groups, and artists. Inspired by principles of inclusion, collective participation, and universal affordability, we will be an example of how creative community development of and for the people can stimulate local economies without resorting to gentrification.
Our Vision is to collectively own a building in which artists, activists and community members can create a space that meets and honors the needs of the community. We envision office space for non-profits and small businesses, studio space for artists, venue space for musical and theatrical shows, an art gallery, a cooking space for Food Not Bombs and community dinners, a place for The Firecracker lending library, a place for groups to have meetings, affordable housing for artists and community members, as well as a home for projects such as Earn a Bike and the Worcester Free School and Worcester Independent Media Center. Another part of our vision is a community center that really belongs to and meets the needs of the neighborhood in which we are located.
