Response to Art Center / by Gary Giordano

With the current events recently, we have seen a culture change "revolution" and a new understanding about art. Traditional colonist venues of whitewashed museums and capitalist consumer driven galleries are no longer relevant to Artist. The new generation of highly educated Artist who value critical thinking and social justice seek environments, and communities willing to allow a new contextualization of their work. Unfortunately, far too often local agendas by governments and business organizations who control power and resources corrupt the process of local centers. Instead of becoming exciting creative venues attracting audiences they become Arts and craft centers which do little to advance the community.
