Artists
& Communities: America Creates for the Millennium is a national program
engaging over 56 professional artists in communities in each state and
jurisdiction of the U.S. throughout 2000.
This
program was made possible by major funding from the National Endowment
for the Arts, the Charles E. Culpeper Foundation/Rockefeller Brothers
Fund, and the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation. Additional support
is provided by The Prudential Foundation, the Earle I. Mack Foundation,
and the Brimstone Fund.
Artists
& Communities is acknowledged as an official National Millennium Initiative
by the National Endowment for the Arts and the White House Millennium
Council.
Real
Art Ways was chosen as the Connecticut host site for the project and Memories
Under Construction was the result of a collaboration with artist in
residence Liz
Miller and the Seniors of Parkville Senior Center.
The
Parkville Senior Center provides educational, health, recreational and
art activities for the seniors of Parkville.
