This just in….a link to the arts town hall blog as captured by Carla Light: http://clairelight.typepad.com/seelight/
My take? A good step on a long road to addressing some of the issues facing us. There were a good many people there for a work day; there were also a good many people missing. The World Cafe format of dialogue was provocative and made it necessary for people to mix – a good thing! We could have used more time. Kudos to all the folks that set it up, and here’s hoping the conversation continues and the word spreads even farther. Paul Flores did some amazing pieces that hopefully got everyone thinking!
