RELATED CONTENT

Linda Frye Burnham was the founder of High Performance magazine. She is currently co-director of Art in the Public Interest and the Community Arts Network on the Internet. The Community Arts Network (www.communityarts.net) which keeps tabs on community-based local art across the country, from theater ensembles with deep regional roots to public art projects planned and executed in collaboration with local people. The art may be involved with education, health problems, prisoner rehabilitation, and other issues. Included on the site is plenty of historical information on the community arts movement, which began as an outgrowth of efforts to beautify small towns in the 19th century and grew to include local historical pageants in the early 20th century; the civic theater movement beginning in the 1920s, the growth of local and state arts councils; and today’s highly collaborative and innovative public-art projects. Reprinted from American Theatre (Dec. 2002). Subscriptions: $35/yr. (10 issues) from 355 Lexington Ave., New York, NY 10017.
