What They're Saying
Critics Review
”“power-packed, inspirational … a tribute not only to the communities with the courage to engage in forward-thinking approaches for community change but to the artists who participated.”” (Children, Youth and Environments Vol. 17 No. 4: Elise Wood) ““A remarkable spectrum of artists who immersed themselves in their communities and emerged with projects, connections and experiences that transcend traditional notions of community art.”” - Jennifer Roche (Community Arts Network Reading Room) ““Community building is not just about housing, although we are doing that. It’s not just about gardens, but that’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)
