At our Art Hives Symposium in June, we were all asked if there was anything we would like to share from our experience of setting up small site of community engaged art making.
I thought about what I could share after years of helping Janis start community studios (aka Art Hives) in various locations across the country. Every space requires a different set of parameters but how each space is set up has a major impact on what art is made there. For example, a carpeted space will not invite messy painting to occur or a dimly lit space will not welcome small scissor cutting.

This film offers historical footage and contemporary interviews describing an amazing time in the history of Spain (1934-1936) when university students traveled across the country to deliver cultural experiences of music, drama, and the visual arts to people who lived in isolated rural communities. The people interviewed are the students, now elderly, who share how this experience affected their lives.
