World Community Arts Day in High Gear

image.jpg Global preparations are underway for World Community Arts Day, February 17, 2007. Instigated by Craigmillar Communiversity in Scotland, World Community Arts Day is an occasion for celebrating "arts as a catalyst for sharing and caring." Everyone is invited to cook up a project for The Day and register it on the Web. So far, plans include: performance artworks and live mural-making by Ken Wolverton and friends in Madrid, N.M., at The Mine Shaft, where there is a sign above the bar that reads: MADRID HAS NO TOWN DRUNKS, WE ALL TAKE TURNS; "Ineffable voice," a global Internet audio broadcast initiated by Dramarte and Artefacto in Mexico; the repainting of the "Healing Wall" mural in Richmond, Calif., by members of Carpenters Local 152 and local high-school students.
