Trying to face the moment
Like you, we at Mobius, are trying to face the moment with resourcefulness and grit. Together as artists we will find a way through this crisis.
We hope all of you are well, healthy, and with the sufficient resources to continue caring for yourselves, families and friends. We hope to stay in touch over the coming weeks and months and look forward to producing live events as soon as it is safe to do so.
In the meantime we are finding ways as a group to stay connected over the internet and over the coming weeks and months we hope to link with you via live streaming events. More details and information will come as we develop a plan.
As Mobius artists we are all resolved on making work about the challenges that face us and making work that address our interconnectedness.
We are so grateful to all of you.
Take care,
The Mobius Artists Group

About Mobius:
Mobius (est. 1977) is a non-profit, artist-run organization, whose mission is to generate, shape and test experimental art. The members of the organization believe an effective strategy for supporting this art is to establish grounds that build relationships among fellow artists. Mobius is committed to structuring environments that foster projects incorporating a wide range of disciplines. This approach sets in motion situations where the artist's impact can be seen locally, nationally and internationally. Constructing art initiatives outside accepted frameworks and encouraging animated discourse with the public are fundamental to Mobius.
Founded by Marilyn Arsem in 1977, Mobius is known for incorporating a wide range of the visual, performing, and media arts into innovative live performance, video, installation and intermedia works. Mobius has produced hundreds of original works that have attained critical acclaim in Boston, nationally and internationally. Works created at Mobius have been presented throughout the United States, Canada, Europe and Asia.
Mobius is funded in part by a grant from the Boston Cultural Council and administered by the Mayor's Office of Arts and Culture; by a grant from the Oedipus Foundation; by an award for artistic excellence from the Tanne Foundation; with support provided by the Metabolic Studio, and generous private support.
