FR MoCA Co-Founders Harry Gould Harvey IV and Brittni Ann Harvey join Kristy Edmunds, Director of MASS MoCA, and Eric Shiner, President of Powerhouse Arts, in the panel discussion at the Arrival art fair in North Adams, MA.

Moderated by Kate McNamara, the conversation explores the transformation of former industrial sites into vibrant cultural hubs, addressing adaptive reuse and stewardship of brownfield spaces, deep community integration and educational impact, and an artist-centric, agile approach to supporting ambitious creative work.

The panel highlights the vital interdependence between small DIY organizations like FR MoCA and larger institutions in building a responsive contemporary art ecosystem.
