In the next post you'll read that I'm looking for an article from Carolyn Jack on the meeting at Trinity Cathedral Thursday. It's not there, but I did find the article the title links to"

"The process is screwed up," panelist Lillian Kuri, head of the private nonprofit agency Cleveland Public Art, said at one point. She said the means of discussing and planning public-art projects needs to be more open and efficient. The forum also gave arts advocates a chance to talk about how to get public money directed to the arts. Cuyahoga County Commissioner Peter Lawson Jones, a panelist, said the recent collapse of the proposed convention center and arts tax package had not discouraged efforts for another arts levy.

I would have to dispute this last point. The few minutes that attendees were given to discuss the topic is one of the reason we're forming the Creative Cleveland Coalition. So that creative individuals in the Northeast Ohio area we experience a feeling of unity and empowerment when it comes to having a voice in the political process.
