The On-Going Story of Community Art
(will return in ART-ACT Notes 22)

It is important for me to continue this story of what went into building UM-CAC. It is - in the end much more than I who have built UM-CAC into what it is at present. I have simply been blessed to be their servant over that period, appointed by the fact I was willing to accept the job at no-pay for a dozen years. Hundreds of artists from Chicago and beyond have contributed over these years. This story will resume in a soon to come ART-ACT Notes long ago, when I am facing my landlord in St-Paul, Minnesota in 1977. I had up to this point, never experienced the sting of welfare. I had - however - experienced the sting of the "road" or the "street" or the "feet in a shelter" before. I had a start on the process of acclimation. Tune - in for next episode and keep checking out the ART-ACT art.
