South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br /> Regular Meeting—June 28, 2011 <br /> 6. NEW BUSINESS (CONT.) <br /> D. West Washington-Chapin Development Area <br /> (2) continued... <br /> Tempe, Arizona. This relocation will <br /> provide an unprecedented opportunity to <br /> enhance the art and legacy of printmaking in <br /> the United States. Segura's continuous <br /> history of working with community on all <br /> levels of art education will anchor and shape <br /> a significant amount of community <br /> programming, and will make the Center a <br /> nationally prominent print program with a <br /> strong focus on Latino and African American <br /> art, and Catholic religious iconography. <br /> A visiting artists-in-residency program will <br /> be established, with numerous opportunities <br /> being available for local artists and youth to <br /> participate in the printmaking workshops and <br /> programs. The Center will also provide <br /> much needed permanent space for a writer- <br /> in-residence initiative of Notre Dame's <br /> literary program, Letras Latinas, as well as <br /> space to host gatherings of minority writers, <br /> publishers, and editors from around the <br /> country. <br /> The Center will create opportunities that <br /> bridge cultural backgrounds; allow local <br /> artists to develop and expand their skills in a <br /> supportive, collaborative environment; <br /> collaborate with the South Bend Community <br /> School Corporation to develop, implement, <br /> and assess educational programs, activities, <br /> workshops, and events that enhance and <br /> expand learning for children, adolescents, <br /> and adult learners; and provide area residents <br /> with a variety of high quality, community <br /> based education, arts, and cultural <br /> 36 <br />
