On this episode, Chavonne Taylor speaks with Karen Mack, founder and executive director of LA Commons, a community art organization that engages communities in the creation of public art that tells their unique stories and serves as the basis for dialogue, interaction, and a shared understanding of Los Angeles. Through community-based arts programs, centered on youth leadership development, they help diverse, generally low-income neighborhoods create dynamic works of public art that build community connection and empowerment.
