The Hoover Dam Collective is like one big party bus: People get on, people get off. The bus is driven by the original founder, Theo Boguszewski, but the Collective itself is run by a collection of people that split the work amongst themselves. For the most part, the core group of organizers are graduates of the art conservatories of SUNY Purchase, but we try hard to reach out beyond Purchase graduates. Because Hoover Dammers are so passionate about the HDC, we give as much time as we can to the cause. The group of organizers tends to change from show to show. Here are a few solid HDC members, in no particular order: Zach Koeber, Kat Rhodes, Breegan Kearney, Rachael Pazdan, Katrina Cunningham, Alex MacKinnon, Lucy Wilson, Nicole Restani, Roseann Baker, Chess Lopez. We are based in Brooklyn, NY.
