The Beehive Design Collective

The Beehive Design Collective is a wildly motivated, all-volunteer, activist arts collective dedicated to “cross-pollinating the grassroots” by creating collaborative, anti-copyright images for use as educational and organizing tools. The organization works anonymously by crediting every graphic to the collective as a whole. They work to find creative ways to collaborate and make both the local and global vision of the Beehive a reality. They create graphics, share stories, tour with the work, connect with local to global efforts, and shape the collective experience together. Project Mesoamerica consists of 8 initiatives to “strengthen regional integration and promote economic and social development.” The True Cost of Coal Project consists of a mural depicting what happens to the communities built around the coal industry and how coal is affecting the planet. So far, The Beehive Design Collective has gone to the Appalachian Mountains, Alaska, Belgium, Switzerland, Germany, and the Netherlands to show the True Cost of Coal and educate citizens and companies. Currently the Beehive Design Collective is working on their Detroit project “Where The Water Goes Around”.
