The Mid-Coast Free School is founded on the belief that no one knows everything there is to know, and everyone deserves the opportunity to share the valuable knowledge that she or he does possess. Our aim is to foster a democratic and non-hierarchical environment of mutual education, based in an economy of gift rather than one of profit. Anyone can attend a class; anyone can teach a class; anyone can start a free school of their own.

Impractical Labor in Service of the Speculative Arts is a member-based artist organization uniting theory and practice. It is organized around two interconnected models: a labor Union and a Research Institute. The Union hosts a listserv and organizes events to connect all impractical laborers, fostering solidarity, community and fellowship. The listserv also enables ILSSA Members to propose projects, events and publications to the group. The Research Institute conducts research and publishes original literature in the form of the ILSSA Quarterly, addressing issues of interest to impractical laborers and the general public. Members and Boosters receive the Quarterly, and in the near future will be invited to contribute to it.
