Mechicano Art Center Contact Info: artxchange@yahoo.com Collection of the Center for the Study of Political Graphics, Los Angeles, CA. Donated by Guillermo Bejarano and Joe Rodriquez Click!...HERE...FOR MORE OF THE GALLERY 0101 COLLECTION (1970 to 1972) Community arts basically is just the spiritual uplifting of the people, the masses of people that are downtrodden right now. The minority communities are spiritually dead and I think our main goal is to awaken them spiritually to the point where they can become politically conscious of their environment and what’s happening to them and their lifestyle and hopefully to stimulate them to do something about their condition. I think basically that’s what community arts is. It’s a tool for social change. It’s a tool for community development, which is social change. I can’t see any other reason for community arts.
