 CREATIVE COMMUNITY

HaltForce Art Collective was a project based art community focused on creating performance driven artist residencies, multimedia installations, statewide collaborations and education opportunities for professional artists - under the direction of creators Mike & Krista Leigh Pasini.

Without putting a container around what category of artists we are, we hope you'll browse the many ways we create, produce, and collaborate on immersive performance art, theater based installations, and multi-media visual design. Along the way, you'll also get to know the work of contributing artists in the community as well as guest artists hosted through our performance residencies. - Mike & Krista.

The HaltForce Art Collective community ebbed and flowed based on the projects and hosted guest artists. Since 2014 Mike and Krista produced performative projects that ranged from single evening pop up events with 30 artists to 6 month long-form projects alongside an individual artist. Often the inquiries drew upon social and ecological intersections and contributing artists found intertwining themes within each others' work that generated dialog among each other and the audiences they engaged with.

Artists and scientists are activists. They look at the world as changeable and they look upon themselves as instruments of change. They understand that the slice of world they occupy is only a fragment but that the fragment is intrinsically connected to the whole. They know that action matters.”
