Content Open Call
M&A is planning a new online content space conceived as a laboratory for architectural ideas. We’re interested in a range of work (surprise us!), including content that: responds to architectural form, material processes, and social conditions; explores relationships created by and through architecture; and experiments with new editorial formats and methods.
Heat Aid
Heat Aid is an ongoing call for material support of Echo Park Mutual Aid, SELAH Neighborhood Homeless Coalition, and Water Drop LA, mutual aid organizations in our community that redistribute basic resources to our unhoused neighbors.
We are always collecting:
Tents and tarps
Sleeping bags
Clothing (casual and adult-sized)*
Adult socks, shoes, and sandals *
Cooling towels
Sun hats and baseball caps
Sunglasses
Travel size sunscreen
Coolers
Liquid IV (and other electrolytes)
* Used items should be like-new, in a condition that you’d give to a friend.
You can donate during all M&A programs or arrange a drop off by emailing info@materialsandapplications.org
Program Committee
The M&A Program Committee is a cooperative volunteer body oriented around projects, programs, and organizational support. The committee works in collaboration with M&A staff to establish curatorial thematics, and works collectively to envision, organize, and produce public events, lectures, performances, and other programming.
We open our call for new Program Committee members annually. Our call for new members is currently closed.
