I/ACT Makes the News Again
The Sun, Sept 28th Troy Eccentric featured a sizable article about I/ACT members James and Charlene Brown which was titled: "Art Documentary Features Artists Behind "Art Unhinged" Project.
This was a great article which should help to promote interest in the arts in Troy and the
"Art Unhinged" recycled art project . Thanks again go to Tom Gross of Ford & Earl who has helped us so much by providing studio space!
Another article is also upcoming that will cover the Bemis Elementary School Mural
(see image at the end of the newsletter).
