What's the role of arts in the community?
Dr. Randy Westbrook and I discuss the history and significance of community art centers.
“Community art is of and by the people of a place and culture, often facilitated by a professional artist. It reflects the values, concerns, and meaning of living in that place or culture.”
There’s a symbiotic relationship between arts programs and community development
The Black Arts Movement was one of many achievements born out of the civil right movement. It only lasted around a decade, but its impact and influence is still visible today.
