This conversation/event is a continuation of the initial conversation held at Food For Thought Books in July, sponsored by Valley Art Share, a project of the Commonwealth Center for Change. This month we continue and expand our
efforts with a special ART Share Happening to accentuate the theme chosen: The Gift Economy and what that means
for Artists and Sustainability.
This series of conversations is being held with local community-based
arts organizations and supporters of a creative economy.
