Interested in participating in the Beehive Collective? Because we receive so many letters of inquiry, we’ve found that a written introduction is the best way to start a dialogue. Please answer these questions either in written form, or out loud on a tape or cd. Please feel free to elaborate on any topics not addressed here, or to include work samples, a resume if you wanna, and any questions you have about the Hive.

Thanks for your consideration- we look forward to hearing from you!
