The Small Lakes Collective (2011-12) was a non-profit organization established and managed by collaborators Katherine Palella, Tian Zhang, and Adam Rothwell.

Our primary objectives were to promote community engagement and support artists and musicians in showcasing their work with creative independence and financial backing.

We successfully executed two significant projects, including interdisciplinary exhibitions such as the Small Lakes Collective Launch Party and Red Fives, featured in the 2012 BARI Festival.

Additionally, Small Lakes facilitated various creative initiatives, events, and fundraising activities through partnerships with organizations and individuals such as Mr Maps, Mucho Bravado, Ashcan Comics, Super Pocket Music, Mark Zian, and RattleCan.
