Dear Pat, Peggy and Michael
I am truly thankful all of you for your kind help with this issue of finding the effective ways to raise the level of awareness of the artists community to the many possibilities that could emerge from improved collaboration I am sure that a genuine transformation can happen here given the right time and place. Thanks again Josef Ralt mobile:972528000278 home:97236821621 HYPERLINK "http://www.flickr.com/photos/joeralt"http://www.flickr.com/photos/joeralt _____ From: OSLIST [mailto:osl...@listserv.boisestate.edu] On Behalf Of Pat Black Sent: Thursday, August 24, 2006 2:54 PM To: osl...@listserv.boisestate.edu Subject: Re: OS with Artists Dear Josef You might want to communicate with Bill Cleveland. His email is HYPERLINK "http://www.artandcommunity.com/index.html"http://www.artandcommunity.com/in dex.html. He uses open space working with artists and communities to do what you have described. I have found him to be quite skilled working with open space and committed to creating the environment you have described. He is a muscian himself. He is not on this list to my knowledge but has a email connect on his website. I think you will find him quite knowledgeable, committted and successful at achieving what you have described. There is a post somewhere in the archives that Harrison posted from him. Good luck.

When I search the web, there is very little activity that's going on and a recent symposium that was held on the subject of the current affairs in the field of the visual arts, was held in the usual "know it all experts" style, "explaining" the problems to the community of artists, who were sitting quietly and listening to what those "experts" have to say. Still, I believe that a good idea like OS will eventually prevail given some time to familiarize with the concepts. Thanks for sharing.

In fact my first event was with 175 people to look at the future of the theatre sector. It worked because the whole system (actors, directors, administrators, companies across Scotland, funders and the media) was in one room - a trolly shed converted into a gigantic gallery. The group established a new set of priorities including children's theatre, which the Council wanted to promote but did not know how to do. While the event was in 1997, people still talk about the change that took place. So, if you can get everyone who has an interest and stake in "the artistic community," they will identify their key issues and find ways to deal with them. Good luck!
