I'm reading this while gallery sitting in a popup located in a vacant shop unit here in the UK. After our brief exchange a few days ago I've been doing some reading and thinking. I started my working life as an urban planner and spent quite a while working on town and city centres. I'm still getting my ideas together but I hope to blog them soon.
That sounds exciting! Here in Calfornia I think there would be a lot of support. I would have to do some research to find out who to contact. I've only been back in this area for 6 years, but I used to teach in the 1980's. I don't know who is still alive to contact. The timing is perfect because of the attempts to cut funding for PBS and NPR by the Senate. Those organizations could be very helpful. Hmm this would be an interesting project. Once I find out who is still alive, hopefully they would be ones who I knew that had clout in the arts. I also taught in Chico, and the same goes for there. You've got my wheels turning now! Sacramento is a huge area. I think we could stir things up.
Our son has been making his activist art available for reproduction in PDF format. He gave two posters for Get in Good Trouble day. Makes me so happy that he does that.

Very cool! Waiting to hear them Ian.
I just moved into an urban neighborhood with plenty of vacant storefronts. I’d love to see an initiative like this spread in Chicago.
Best of luck Cecil & Co. - I’ll be cheering you on from across the ocean…👏👏👏🎨🎭👩🏼🎨
Well done Cecil. You’re on to something. So much to think about here! Thank you for planting this seed.

Bravo, let’s do this!
