Monroe The exhibition "Community Arts in Dialog and Action" organized by Cultural Arts Coalition focuses on artists who are engaged in community concerns. These artists recognize the dynamic of communication through their mediums to inspire awareness toward issues that hit home, and how through this recognition of group consciousness they can elevate a community's spirit to action. It is not a coincidence that each of the artists participating in this exhibit has a direct relationship to Arizona State University, either as professors, students or alumni. The attachment to this academic community is part of the exhibition's focus and is only a small sampling of many university affiliated artists, crossing generational and ethnic boundaries. Also considered is the work of those ASU alumni who have left a legacy of community service. Exemplified is the artistic expression and life of Gary Avey, founder and former publisher of Native Peoples magazine which carries on his consciousness without his presence. It is my contention that artists deliver the most accurate depiction of history. If you want to know what was going on with the people, you look at what they were inspired to create. History books are often sanctioned by the controlling political, financial, and religious viewpoints, but art history will get you to the guts of how people lived. I've always found the most engaging viewpoints come from the visceral elements of society, and here is where our artists dwell. Sharon Stetter, Exhibition Curator Particpating Artists: Marco A.
