The hit list... so far

I did a bit of research before I left Australia and came up with the following list of local community-based organisations and related groups. I plan on working with these groups to report on public art, civic engagement and social and economic trends in the American Midwest.

Let me know if I should add more or if you are interested in me pursuing particular conversations.
