Art & Neighborhood January 27, 2007

It will feature a keynote address by Mindy Thompson Fullilove, author of Root Shock and nationally renowned advocate of those displaced by urban renewal, followed with a response by Liz Lerman, MacArthur "genius grant" winner and Founding Director of Liz Lerman Dance Exchange. The symposium will also include three "case study" presentations on how art can have a positive impact in neighborhoods: Kumani Gantt, Director of Village of Arts & Humanities; Jay Wolf Schlossberg-Cohen, an artist working in Baltimore's Midtown Edmondson neighborhood; and Art on Purpose's own Real City, Dream City project.

Complementary breakfast and lunch will be included, and symposium attendees will have the opportunity to network among themselves -- neighborhood to neighborhood, artist to neighborhood, artist to artist.
