LINK TO FB POST WITH COMMENTS: 1980'S NEW HAVEN ARTISTS UNITED-ONLINE ARCHIVE
This group was Formed on Nov 24th, 2019 in response to a question I have been asked several times over the last few years about The New Haven Arts community. What contributed to New Haven's Golden Age of the arts? As someone who was active during that decade, I decided to investigate this question by inviting those of us who were there then to share our own memories and experiences of that time period.
The process for this group is one of sharing and supporting remembering and learning about how we functioned during that time period. By sharing our unique individual memories of creating, participating and supporting each other, we will be developing insights into how this important time in New Haven occurred. Simultaneously we will be creating our own "local art history” by pairing artifacts with (various) verbal accounts.
SIMPLY BY PARTICIPATING IN THIS GROUP YOU WILL BE HELPING US TO TURN Y/OUR MEMORIES AND ARTIFACTS INTO OUR OWN LOCAL ART HISTORY!
Please join us for this exploration and add your voice in a way that works best for you. Experience the stimulation and joy of reconnecting with many of those individuals you knew and worked with during that decade.
By joining us you will be helping to develop a more complete picture of this time in New Haven's Local Art History. All our voices together in this group will help create and preserve an accurate picture of the interconnectivity and vitality of New Haven's local art and cultural community during the decade of the 1980’s for the future (and hopefully provide important and useful insights to the question of what was it about the the New Haven Arts Community that has left it with the reputation of being “A Golden Age” for the Arts in New Haven.
