What is The Radius Project?

Through a blend of storytelling, guided talks, and local tours, we reveal how creative minds transform neighborhoods —socially, environmentally, and emotionally.

We explore communities for imaginative efforts and accomplishments happening within a one-mile radius of where people live.

From public art to grassroots sustainability efforts, we show the tangible impact of imaginative thinking that is shaping the world right outside our doors.

How It Works

Participants are invited to local libraries, schools, and community centers, where each event reimagines the neighborhood as a vibrant hub for curiosity and connection. Film Screenings feature:

Artists – Driving local creative expression and dynamic storytelling

Environmentalists – Defending and nurturing local land, water and air

Volunteers – Connecting people through compassion and acts of service in times of need

Our films honor local people who are using their imagination to enrich the quality of their own neighborhoods.

Why It Matters

These public events bring people together to discover how a community can be a source of useful knowledge, expression, and well-being.

Neighbors engage in intergenerational conversations about how we benefit from free expression, environmental stewardship and community engagement.

Educational Approach

Our informal learning objectives are rooted in place, emotion, and problem-solving. People grow through fun discussions about experiential education, critical thinking and emotional Intelligence.

Mission

The Radius Project celebrates the limitless potential of an imaginative neighborhood. We invite you to watch a film, join a tour, and help nurture the next generation of local leaders, thinkers, and doers—where we live.
