old stuff you should know

There were a number of teams discussed to cover all the different aspects in this growing collective. Contact the point ppl for more info and to contribute:

Web/Multimedia - Ann and Vincent are heading this up. We wanted to get the ball rolling on a collab between APA artists, designers and programmers to not only develop a functional, kick-ass website for the collective, but also see how us techgeeks and computer-dependent folks create and support art. Let us know if you would like to contribute.

Resource Development - Patty, Jay, Marlon and Mark are on this one. We need to fundraise. We need to write grants out for all our lofty, perfect ideas. There's no chance to make the September deadlines for grants, but we need to get this going soon. Contact Anida.

Teaching Team - Marlon, Vanessa, and Sandra. We're looking for a few good teachers to develop and implement a series of youth projects as early as this Fall. Sandra's starting an APA teen women's group this Fall, and Marlon's developing an APA teen writers group in the Spring. Contact Marlon for more info.
