Genealogy

What changed about your understanding of community-based arts after reviewing this genealogy? What questions emerged for you? What new connections became clear? 

I didn't realize that much the government used to support the arts. All of the site-specific pieces either had collaboration with local government, or was directly funded by a government run organization, like the National Endowment for the Arts. I'd like to learn more about how and why the arts aren't as supported in America than they are in other countries, and why the decline in support. A new connection I made was that everything is connected. I had never considered the birth of community-based art, I always took it for granted, but knowing it's roots and how it's connected with my favorite kinds of art gives me a new appreciation.
