169 [S3E16]: Growing the Local Arts Landscape with Cicada Cinema
Cicada Cinema is a volunteer-run organization which calls itself a "pop-up movie theatre". Since 2016 they've been showing around Bloomington underrepresented and what they call "underseen" films, pretty much just for the sake of cinema. The city Arts Commission strategically funded their organization with a grant to show movies in local parks, which was co-sponsored by the city Parks and Rec Dept. and promoted in their annual Program Guide, which this show recently featured.
Cicada Cinema's Josh Brewer, a co-founder and the organization's lead volunteer, along with Cicada's senior volunteer Derek Navardauskas, are our guests today. We visit with them to find out how an arts organization is born and grown, just as they're on the cusp of establishing nonprofit status.
