Based in Chicago, Holly and the Neighbors is a network of pheromonal links, of words as uttered through the body, sound and smell becoming history once it exits our throats. It is an independent arts organization dedicated to sharing the work of asymmetrical minds. It is also the touching of lips to forehead or cheek, whichever you are more comfortable with. It is a dense colony of slightly intoxicated hearts beating in a living room, of ones and zeros. It is mandatory costumes, or one will be provided for you. It is a whisper that moves from person to mic, eventually becoming brain matter. It is a hand in a hand. Holly and the Neighbors began as a phrase. It oscillates from phrase, to physical, to digital. We support multidisciplinary artists and produce art + literature that challenges the status quo, fosters a sense of wonderment, and creates a new kind of inclusive canon along the way. Dedicated to accessibility in the arts, we have created a platform out of nothing in order to bring in artists who are looking for a home for their work. Who are excited to weave their worlds into a tapestry with clumsy hands growing aware over time. Who are searching for a microphone for which to not only speak, but to be heard. We are here to listen, and we hope our audience is ready to do the same.
