Downside UP: How art can change the spirit of a place
With 80 percent of its downtown buildings closed, North Adams, Massachusetts, united blue-collar locals with art world luminaries to transform economic failure into America's largest center for contemporary art, MASS MoCA. A film by North Adams native Nancy Kelly, Downside UP, is about the tentative, dangerous notion of hope in a city widely viewed as hopeless. (2002, 56 minutes)
In partnership with the Muncie Arts and Culture Council.
