The Community Workshop celebrated the creative spirit of the community and helped us to discover the following common values and a shared vision for an arts center in Yellow Springs:
1. Be green
2. Support what we have
3. Have an international reputation
4. Save the college
5. Be an artist's colony
6. Be an art-producing community
7. Be a meeting place
8. Raise artists
9. Serve and connect all generations
10. Hold more festivals
11. Be financially sustainable
12. Change the world
The conversation has begun, and it will continue, culminating this summer in conceptual plans for an arts center in Yellow Springs that can move forward to the next phase: a feasibility study. We invite and encourage you to join or continue the discussion, meet with other artists and community members, and keep the ideas flowing. Let us know what you think by e-mail, letter, or a phone call; and check out our website for news and updates.
Thank you again for sharing your vision for an arts center!
