Art in the Public Interest (API)

VOTER WORK

API runs an internet site called the Community Arts Network (CAN) where they publish news|and information about artists working with communities.

DESCRIPTION

API is a nonprofit organization formed in 1995 to serve the information needs of artists and organizations who are bringing the arts together with community and social concerns. Based in North Carolina, API was founded by co-directors Linda Frye Burnham and Steven Durland Burnham.

API's goal is to support the efforts of culturally engaged artists and organizations, both by providing information to them about the field, and by providing information about the field to the broader public. Vehicles for this information include periodicals, books, pamphlets, archives, referrals, workshops, electronic information sites and collaborations with other organizations.
