CALL FOR MEMBERS
little berlin is currently seeking new members!
Members become part of an active collective. They help organize and assist in putting together exhibits, develop and work on projects like our upcoming Fairgrounds outdoor art space, maintain the gallery, talk with visitors, assist during performances and openings.
