Today's funding trends such as
Creative Place - making, made possible through partnership enterprises among foundation, governmental, and financial - sector support, such as ArtPlace America, are concentrated on giving art and artists
opportunities in diverse communities yet also require artists and arts organizations to think through an entrepreneurial frame by integrating their initiatives into their community's economic development and community revitalization strategies and having the potential to attract additional private and public support of the community.3 Is this a worthy challenge of contemporary arts insularity or does it discount subversive and
against - the - grain art production, made by and for art communities, including that which is made within and by these same diverse communities that are being targeted by new funding initiatives as in need of help in the form of artistic interventions?
