Spill Paint Not Oil

Spill Paint Not Oil is an autonomous network of artists, organizers, friends, and mischief-makers, primarily based in Mni Sóta Makoce (so-called Minnesota) who’ve held various roles across movements, art projects, and campaigns. 

We’ve been, and continue to be, shaped by resistance movements to prevent fossil fuel expansion, abolish our carceral police state, and fight social and environmental injustices.

Since 2021, our collective has stewarded a community studio space that hosts regular art builds and assisted many ongoing community art projects. We screenprint, make banners, signs, and occasionally dip our fingers into paper mache.  Hundreds of people come through our studio space every year, some on a one-time basis, others as more consistent collaborators.

We believe that art making is world building. Together we engage in the necessary and shared work of envisionsing better and more just worlds.

We are committed to responding to the urgencies of daily life under late-stage capitalism. 

We are committed to the long, intensive, and slow work of relationship-building, mutual-aid, skill sharing, and collective transformation.

We believe in participatory and collectivized world-making. Grab a paint brush.
