9/20 Artists for Social Healing Meeting notes

• People volunteered for positions that will assist the group in its growth.

• We discussed where we wanted Arts for Social Healing go and what we want it to be.

• Participants said they would be willing to come together to put art out into the world under a particular topic or focus.

• Participants are leaning toward Inter-medium art collaborations

• Suggestion:

o Put young peoples art in places where perceptions of youth are negative; showing young people are viable and productive
o The art would be an advocacy tool

How could this forum be useful and interesting to you?

I was just on the Community Arts Network website, which is a fantastic national resource. (Check it out! www.communityarts.net) They also have an extensive forums area (http://www.communityarts.net/forums/index.php), although it doesn't look like there's been much actual discussion and dialogue -- just lots of interesting postings.

I don't want to duplicate their efforts. What would make it worthwhile to have this separate, mostly Massachusetts and Boston-area forum?

What would make it interesting and valuable to YOU?
