What is SPARC352?
SPARC352 is an initiative grounded in the idea that arts are at the core of vibrant and healthy communities.
In partnership with community members, we have become a mobile unit for learning, wellness, workforce development, and historic and cultural preservation through creativity and collaboration.

We are excited to announce our new series of youth programming: Sparc STEAM Station, funded by the Alachua County Children’s Trust, aiming to bring STEM and Art activities to rural communities.

SPARC Presents at Imagining America
Members of our SPARC352 staff and community network traveled to the Imagining America National Gathering in Las Cruces, NM during October to share three presentations about how we have activated local artists and residents in Gainesville.
This unique event brings together scholars and artists to work across disciplines, institutions and communities to shirt cultural and societal structures.
