As you all know, All Hallow’s Eve, appearing this Saturday only, will be feted by your MAPH cohorts in high style and with high spirits. Details on that will be out shortly. However, we here at the MAPH office have been asked to alert you to another Halloween party event at the Gamma Alpha Grad Student Coop House. I have appended, below, the invitation, and copied the mini-flyer as well. Now, we know you don’t like playing favorites (though we’re also aware that we’ll always win), so, if you are feeling especially energetic on Saturday evening, we offer not another option – as we feel attendance at one does not preclude attendance at both – but perhaps one more stop.
Be[a]st[ly],
Your MA[ligned]PH[anged] Mentors
Halloween. As the year wanes and we brace ourselves against the gathering winter, Halloween is a day to reflect on the things we once held dear. Socializing. Drinking. Wearing funny clothes. Showing too much skin. This year won’t you join us at GA in our remembrance of these forgotten traditions?

ARLENE GOLDBARD
“A New WPA: Why a Sustainable Future Demands Cultural Recovery”
A public lecture sponsored by the Cultural Policy Center at the University of Chicago.
Tuesday, October 27, 4:00 to 5:30 p.m
Lecture Room 142
Harris School of Public Policy, 1155 E. 60th Street
Arlene Goldbard is a writer, lecturer, and arts consultant whose focus
is the intersection of culture, politics, and community. She has
frequently addressed academic, professional, practitioner and community
audiences on topics ranging from the ethics of community arts practice
to the need for a paradigm shift in cultural policy.
In New Creative Community: The Art of Cultural Development (2006), she
describes the theory and practices of community cultural development as
“the work of artist-organizers and other community members collaborating
to express identity, concerns and aspirations through the arts and
communications media.” Her contributions to the field of cultural policy
include books, essays, journal articles, foundation reports, and a
widely-referenced blog accessed through her Web site
<http://arlenegoldbard.com>. On her blog is “An Open Letter to President
Obama: Repairing Democracy” and a discussion of cultural recovery, based
on the “White House Briefing on Art, Community, Social Justice, National
Recovery” that brought a group of artists and activists to Washington,
D.C. last May.
