Dear Josef<br>
You might want to communicate with Bill Cleveland. His email is
<a href="http://www.artandcommunity.com/index.html">http://www.artandcommunity.com/index.html</a>. 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.<br>

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.</span></font></p>
