Space for People, Arts, Research, and Creativity, Collaboration and Community.
What is SPARC352?
SPARC352 is an initiative grounded in the idea that arts are at the core of vibrant and healthy communities.
In partnership with community members, we have become a mobile unit for learning, wellness, workforce development, and historic and cultural preservation through creativity and collaboration.
Seeking Community Liaisons
We are seeking 8 self-driven community liaisons from around Alachua County (outside of Gainesville) to help spread the word to local families about free SPARC352 Arts & STEM Nights in Spring 2026! These programs will take place in areas outside of Gainesville in areas such as Waldo, High Springs, and more.
As a community liaison you will:
- Receive a stipend for a few hours of your time
- ENGAGE with parents, youth, and local organizations
- SHARE information and flyers about our fun, interactive and educational youth activities
- USE YOUR LOCAL CONNECTIONS to help families get involved
Join us at Oakview Park, 810 NW 8th Ave in Gainesville, on Saturday, Dec. 13th at noon to learn more!
SPARC Presents at Imagining America
Members of our SPARC352 staff and community network traveled to the Imagining America National Gathering in Las Cruces, NM during October to share three presentations about how we have activated local artists and residents in Gainesville.
This unique event brings together scholars and artists to work across disciplines, institutions and communities to shirt cultural and societal structures.
Introducing SPARC Place
We are introducing the SPARC Place Residency at Oakview Studios summer pilot program! The purpose of the SPARC Place residency program is to provide Alachua county artists with focused time and space to develop artwork, and to test out a format to build on for a potential future residency program.
