Interested? 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. Because we receive so many letters of inquiry, we’ve found that a written introduction is the best way to start a dialogue.

We are an all volunteer non-profit
graphics collective based in Eastern Maine.
We are active in our local community as well as the international global justice
movement.
Our base is the small coastal town of Machias, the hub of a large, sparsely
populated county with a strong class consciousness and tradition of self reliance.
We own and operate a hundred year old Grange, formally a farmer's meeting hall,
rich in the history of the populist movement's legacy of agricultural and community
organizing.
In Maine, our food is collectively prepared, with emphasis on healing, whole
foods… and acquired by work trade with local organic farmers (summer
months only).
The Bees are mostly, but not exclusively, women that value building self-esteem
and dismantling art-ego… considering ourselves to be anti-copyright
cultural workers in service to the immense need for alternative communication
strategies to address the complexity of current events.
The Beehive Collective is decentralized geographically, you need not move to
Maine to join forces with us!
Are anxious to be part of a healthy, non-hierarchical
organism in which to carve out a space for yourself
and your projects based on your own inspiration, efforts,
and self motivation. |
