What a great read. It is awesome to see Sara Lyons and the PAAC getting well deserved attention.
I also liked how Sara mentioned that people often care more about art here than they think they do. Her examples were perfect. Another one that always comes to mind for me is the reaction when the Hastings bus mural came down. That wasn’t in the article, but it’s a great reminder that even when folks say they aren’t all that into art, they usually feel something when it changes or disappears.
And that last paragraph really sums it up. All you have to do is show up and listen. Once you do, you often realize you’ve got a voice in the conversation too.
Thank you, Sara. I lived on Yucca Mesa for a few years and found that area, J. Tree and 29 to be filled with creative folks, some of whom had lived there for decades and some who were new-comers.
