Shirley Brice Heath's ArtShow 2 Grow - Adolescents and Social Entrepreneurship through Arts Development

"Through five documentary films and two photograph galleries, ArtShow 2 Grow reveals the social, intellectual, and managerial skills of young people working through their youth organizations to improve the quality of life in their communities.

These young people work with the arts to help create products, events, and public education that sensitize adults to the work of young people promoting nutritional health, local agriculture, and the role of arts in social change."

It's worth picking up this incredible resource which includes the ArtShow documentary (2000); four new short documentaries (2005), and Heath's print copy of ArtShow which explores community development, a resource guide, and a research report on youth learning in community organizations.

I have watched this documentary and worked through Shirley Brice Heath's book. I highly recommend this piece.
