We founded this non-profit in 2022 behind the passion and appreciation for the arts-and-sciences under the name Ancient Playgrounds Co.

Our mission is to increase literary arts audiences in the Starkville, Miss. and surrounding D.C. communities. We welcome the technical prowess of scientists. We aim to refine the vision of artists to see the science and for scientists to unlock their creativity. Our board is comprised of biomedical and electrical engineers trained in scientific innovation; creatives and inter-disciplinarians; regulation and resilience motivators; and civic minded fellows.
