BrushFire

BrushFire, a blog documenting arts and activism in the run up to this year’s U.S. elections, is organized by Provisions Learning Project, a research center for arts and social change in Washington, DC.  It’s a very impressive site, and a highly recommended read for fans of our work here.

Provisions, the organization behind the effort is also:

presenting a major series of public art interventions around the country designed to focus attention on key issues such as the Iraq war, immigration, global warming, civil liberties, housing and healthcare. This will culminate in an exhibition called Close Encounters: Reflections on the Future, at the American University Art Museum in September and October, 2008.

You can find a link to the site in our blogroll at the right for easy reference.  Happy reading!
