2011 BIG FEED: A Series Of Links

Posted by admin on Friday, October 14, 2011 · Leave a Comment

In anticipation of this weekend’s BIG FEED, I’d like to print a series of links related to my rural arts and culture presentation. Many thanks to the M12 for the opportunity to visit Yuma and share the work of The Art of Rural; for folks in attendance, and perhaps even for those just looking to browse some links, I offer this distillation of the artists and organizations mentioned in my talk. With so much extraordinary work out there in the contemporary rural arts, I would like to stress that these links come together as a narrative of shared values and sensibilities, not a definitive “best of.” Please visit our Rural Arts Links page for much more information on the range of artists and organizations at work right now in rural (and urban) America.
