BrushFire is Provisions Library's guide to activist arts and culture during the run-up to the U.S. elections in November 2008. Artists, arts organizations and their community partners are submitting notices of their arts actions for social change to the Brushfire blog. At the same time, Provisions is presenting a series of public art interventions around the country designed to focus attention on key issues such as the Iraq war, immigration, global warming, civil liberties, housing and healthcare; artists include The Beehive Collective, The Floating Lab Collective, Futurefarmers, Ligorano/Reese and Jon Winet. Brushfire culminates in an exhibition, "Close Encounters: Reflections on the Future," at the American University Art Museum in September and October, along with a D.C.-wide festival of exhibitions and arts events on key social issues.
