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.
