Akron Earthworm Collective -- one side of the Square

I'm all for collective action and art, so I was very happy to find out about the Akron Earthworm Collective, now digging in to the cultural humus that is Highland Square. It is both place and state of mind, and you can find them at 16 S. Highland Ave next to the old barbershop. They are open from 1 - 9 pm Monday through Friday, though that is not always possible.

According to their manifesto:

The Akron Earthworm is a newly formed autonomous space in Akron, Ohio run by volunteers who work collectively wherein creative people from all of the arts can meet, unite, share, and perform. It is a cooperative of diverse individuals providing a vaudeville stage for Akron and for touring artists from all over where musicians, painters, writers, performance artists, film makers and others can share, collaborate and flourish. The Akron Earthworm will also act as an infoshop, fanzine library and will build and house an extensive selection of radical literature, t-shirts and hard-to-find vinyl. Grassroots organizations are welcome to meet and organize here. The space is substance-free and no sexism, racism, ageism, homophobia or any other brain drool will be tolerated.

The space is small but filled with lots of passion, poetry and DIY spirit. Check out their web page here. And get ready for Wormfest 2007, coming August 25th in conjunction with three other major Highland Square events all happening on the same day at the same time:

Wormfest -- Radical music, art and thought
Art in the Square -- Highland Square artists, writers, performers and activists share their work.
Party on the Path -- Arts and entertainment at Grace United Church
Official Opening -- the new Highland Square Branch Library

More details as they come in, but until then, gaze upon this and mark it on your calendar:
