Our aim is to promote worthy arts and arts-in-education programs or projects, which develop community empowerment.
Welcome to the Community Art Education Blog!
The Community Art Education blog hopes to create an online network for community-based artists, who are seeking to promote their art. We are beginning this blog with the impact that the 2006 documentary How Do I Look has been having since this arts-in-education project began. Beyond How Do I Look this blog welcomes comments and posts by artists who seek to empower their communities with their art projects. To join our network and contribute to the ongoing dialogue we are creating on this blog, please send an e-mail to
Louis Flores with information about your art project.
Featured Arts-in-Education Project
More about How Do I Look:
"How Do I Look was created by artistic activist Wolfgang Busch to empower the Ballroom community, which we know of from the Madonna video "Vogue", "Truth or Dare" and the movie Paris is Burning. The Ballroom community is one of the most creative and hardest hit HIV/AIDS community and we tell the story 'straight' out. How Do I Look is a tool to showcase our talents, brings the Ballroom community together, gain artistic and human respect, provides hands on video production/post production training, improves the quality of life and sends HIV/AIDS awareness messages through the many we lost to AIDS and the ones living with HIV now."
To learn more about How Do I Look, please visit their dedicated website at: www.howdoilooknyc.org.
Featured Arts-in-Education Agency
Acclaimed independent filmmaker Wolfgang Busch has collaborated with the Florida Special Arts Center, Inc., in Tamarac, Florida, on his latest documentary, A True Lesson In Humanity. Check out information about the Florida Special Arts Center and the important community work that they are providing in the area of arts-in-education.
Alternate Arts-in-Education Project
The Miss Landmine Project is a very controversial beauty contest, which is meant to, among other things, empower female survivors of landmine explosions. According to the blogger Koluki:
It all revolves around a project conceived and executed by Norwegian artist Morten Traavik and funded by the Arts Council of Norway to the tune of USD 80.000. So, it’s essentially an arts project involving a beauty pageant for the election of a “Miss Landmine Angola” out a selected group of 10 candidates, maimed by landmines, from different provinces of the country.For more information about this arts-in-education project, please visit the official site dedicated to the Miss Landmine Project.

It has hosted performance events throughout New York and New Jersey. Art House Productions is an arts service program sponsored by Fractured Atlas, a non-profit arts service organization.
