Biography
Ian Pumpian, Douglas Fisher, Susan Wachowiak
"This is a timely volume, given the shortage of funding for the arts and the general impetus, particularly in urban areas, to look at community partnerships as a primary, if not sole, means of providing quality arts education. It is also compelling, in that it takes the now familiar concept of 'arts integration' a step further--describing an integration of places for learning that is much more authentic than 'field trips.'"
