The Common Field Report 2011-2016 catalogs Common Field’s founding years, highlighting key efforts, people, and initiatives that contributed to its emergence and development. Common Field’s vision is vibrant, contentious, complex, and infinitely creative. Our network is growing together—taking risks, learning reciprocally, and becoming more accountable and generous, critical and constructive. Inevitably imperfect and incomplete, this Field Report sets out to share Common Field’s origins, and demonstrates our commitment to archiving the histories and stories of independent artist organizations. Our hope is this report serves as a resource and reference for members and affiliates into the future.
