Re: community art projects

Greetings Andy and the list,

We at Campus Compact are working on an exciting new initiative rooted in the
Raise Your Voice campaign around student art and service, politics, and
civic engagement.  I have collected a wealth of resources, in part thanks to
this listserv, and am working to put them up on the web.

A few key resources for you to look into immediately are Imagining America
(http://www.ia.umich.edu, Animating Democracy)
(http://www.americansforthearts.org/animatingdemocracy), or for more program
models, download Sam Krueger's report here
(http://www.nationalservice.org/jobs/fellowships/1998-99.html#krueger)

The Campus Compact website will feature more models as well as tools and
steps for you and your students to implement engaged arts projects on your
campus and throughout the community (and much more).

Please contact me with more questions, tips, or descriptions of you or your
students projects.

Cheers,
Josh
