Announcing the Santa Cruz Art Conspiracy

The Santa Cruz Art Conspiracy is an attempt to share and document some of the creative efforts of artists in Santa Cruz, California working to blur the lines between art and life, and between the personal and the political.

The focus is on the cathartic process of creating art, collaboration and community, conceptional art and performance. Non-commercial, non-institutional, we are, at heart, believers in the importance of DIY (do-it-yourself).

Well beyond the oft-heard complaint about lack of gallery space, our streets, our neighborhoods, our public spaces should be places of art and performance.

The Santa Cruz Art Conspiracy website documents some of the non-institutional non-commerical art efforts in Santa Cruz. It is a historical record stretching as far into the past as we can remember and as far into the future as art still matters. Your contributions and suggestions are welcome. http://scartconspiracy.blogspot.com
