Works of Heart: Building Village Through the Arts de Lynne Elizabeth

Works of Heart: Building Village Through the Arts

Autor Lynne Elizabeth, Suzanne Young
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 30 sep 2006
This full-color celebration of citizen artists revitalizing their communities profiles 10 exemplary grass-roots arts projects. Stories range from children building a mud façade on their Oregon school to an annual blessing procession and festival in north Philadelphia that brings to life dozens of the most derelict blocks in urban America.
This collection of human-interest stories and resources about grass-roots community building offers a rare and appealing counterbalance to the clinical policy reports common to the field. Profiles are written in language that inspires and informs both community development professionals and citizen activists.
Lead editor Lynne Elizabeth is director of New Village Press and former editor of New Village Journal and Earthword Journal.

Recenzii


"Go home. Work with the mentalities you fled in your development. Wrestle your neighbors. Call out your ancestors," wrote artist Annie Rachele Lanzillotto in "Works of Heart: Building Village through the Arts."

This new anthology presents a remarkable spectrum of artists who, like Lanzillotto, immersed themselves in their communities and emerged with projects, connections and experiences that transcend traditional notions of community art and move into realms that seem more like community development.

- Jennifer Roche, CommunityArtsNetwork

In this small, power-packed, inspirational book there are nine case studies which demonstrate the potential and possibilities in community-based arts projects. Easily accessible and informative, it is a benefit for students, artists, educators, designers, planners, civic leaders, non-profit professionals, and volunteers interested or involved in community endeavors. This compendium illustrates initiatives for grassroots community building through the arts. It comes from community membership infused with passion and caring to make their corner of the world a little better. It speaks of the interactions, the struggles, the joys, and the ultimate sense of satisfaction in making a difference in a community.

- Elsie Wood, Chidren, Youth and Environment

Textul de pe ultima copertă


Community building is not just about
housing, although we are doing that.
It's not just about gardens,
but it's an important backbone here.
It's not just about education.
It's all of that...
but we must remember the heart.

--Lily Yeh, founder
The Village of Arts and Humanities
Philadelphia
