This book is what I was looking for in terms of the whats and how-tos of getting community together to create. It made me think about what our communities artistic assets really are, and that helped solidify some ideas. The book has a really handy, in-depth checklist on what to do in what order to accomplish a project.
Exactly what I expected and in great shape!
It was very helpful in what the Cultural Arts Manager is trying to do. She told me she read the whole book over the weekend.
I work at the publisher for this book. We have been trying to get to correct the information on this page for three months. This book is in print and can be ordered from us directly at our web site, fieldstonealliance org. Please order the book there until corrects the problem.
Arrived as promised!
