What is The James Gang?
Founded in 2002, the James Gang is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit grassroots community building organization based in Iowa City, Iowa. The organization is committed to fostering interdisciplinary community development through helping people realize and share their own creative ideas, expressions, and ambitions. The organization operates on the idea that by helping creative individuals from disciplines as diverse as the arts, sciences, humanities, politics, media, and business, it can create projects and institutions that foster community interaction while helping these individuals find resources to make their ideas a reality. The James Gang’s primary method to pursue its mission is to create community projects (we call endeavors) designed to be frameworks to help individuals pursue their own creativity.
