An Appalachian Arts Project: A New Model to Promote Communal Art Interaction

Abstract Details

2008, MARCH, University of Cincinnati, Design, Architecture, Art and Planning : Architecture (Master of).
By allowing all members of a community to participate in and interact with art, this project will benefit the whole of a region and move its focus to the knowledge gained through the creative process. By evaluating existing art studios, museums, art education methods, and libraries, positive and negative aspects of their user relationships become clearer. The concepts of scale, accessibility, flexibility, and interactivity represent several important factors ignored by older examples. Meanwhile, newer institutions embody the concepts of adaptability, opportunity, and community involvement. Through blending methods of education, exhibition, and resource collection, a better typology will arise to more effectively serve its community. Such a project requires a revised understanding of art, its makers, and contexts. This new paradigm will return art to the public to demonstrate its importance as a process of collaboration and education not a final, isolated product.
