#2: Living Spaces and Communities of Citizens: Making Fields out of Civic Environments

How do art projects fit into the complicated webs of varying interests in regional communities? This lecture will focus on the possibilities and limitations of community-based art projects, the long-term relationship between art projects and their communities, and the roles that government organizations and citizens play in that context.
