"The program was different than a standard art class. Instead of the typical teaching of techniques and art history, students were taught to collaborate with each other and focus on raising the students feminist consciousnesses about their artwork and ways of thinking. For example, students would go around the room, during discussions, and share personal experiences about specified topics such as money, relationships, and family. It was believed that by sharing these experiences, students were able to not only individualize their experience and insert more emotion into their artwork, but also learned about the collective experience among the one another, and empower themselves as individuals and a group. Instead of supporting the typical idea of artists being secluded and working as independent "geniuses," the class aimed to emphasize collaboration. The class was described as a "radical departure," for the time period"

"In Pittsburgh, about 30 buyers arrived on a recent sunny summer evening at Space gallery, a nonprofit that inhabits what was once a downtown video pornography store, to find their shares waiting for them on large tables, in nice brown paper bags with the question “Do You Know Where Your Art Comes From?” printed on the side. (One of the pieces from an earlier share pickup, by the artist Lenka Clayton, took the concept of local to a new level: framed swatches of a plum-colored shirt once owned by Andy Warhol, native son.)"
