The program “Book by Authors” is the brainchild of Smolarcorp, a small company which is so small that it is currently travels to, and works from, various cities in North America.
We challenge modern presumptions about disparate identity by creating new vehicles for social interaction. We’re the opposite of Bowling Alone. We love it when neighbors know each other. We work with arts councils, business improvement districts, cities, library foundations, universities, neighborhood associations and HOAs, developers, retailers, restaurants, historic buildings, and artists.
We specialize in creating signature events and unique projects—such as Book by Authors—which improve the community’s self-worth by helping community members celebrate their shared assets, meet each other, and work together in new ways.
Our projects include:
- Book by Authors – One city writes one book about itself
- The Knolls Ranger – A real-life neighborhood super hero
- University by the Sea – An event that transforms a downtown core into a university for a day
- The Goods Gallery – An art gallery in a parking lot, built from reused cargo containers
