Jargonist Inc. was established in 2020 by Columbia University's Teachers College to connect artists, organizations, and communities in need through creative practice during quarantine. We began all online and then emerged with the rest of the world as Covid-19 lifted.
Jargonist brings artists into many different worlds to help imagine, make, teach, problem-solve, and build together. Our artists exhibit online and connect to creative projects in business and communities to sustain creative and social practices. If you have a project that would like to access our network of designers, painters, printmakers, educators, and craftspersons please email kristina@jargonist.org.
