multicultural environmental arts in the landscape. The event will

poets, clowns, stilt-walkers, puppeteers and many others with
performances, installations, and interactive exhibits for the whole family.
A Living Library, sponsored by Life Frames, Inc, is hosting the special event - a Celebration of Diversity - Third in a series of Community Dialogues in Comprehensive Sustainable Development - with greenmuseum.org and SOMARTS in conjunction with SF Dept of Environment, SFPUC & SF Supervisor Gerardo Sandoval. A Living Library will be highlighting the powerful relationships between the arts, the environment and sustainable development. Included are installations by Rene Yanez, Carol Stewart, Melba Albella , and many others, with Native American drumming and storytelling by Jane de Cuir and Eddie Madrill, live music by Don Watanabe Quartet and A Mas Que Nada, and an environmental puppet show by the Big Tadoo Puppet Crew, and much more! This event is part of the artSFest 2004, which celebrates creativity in all forms and showcases the arts community in an integrated celebration that positively impacts the entire Bay Area.
A Living Library creates environmental and educational transformation and at this site is known as the OMI/Excelsior Living Library & Think Park. With the community and children, it is currently transforming acres of bleak asphalt and concrete into a Green Center of Community with multiple Learning Zones based on the ecological, built, and multicultural resources of the area - past, present, and future. ALL, for short, presents ecology/garden/arts education to students from San Miguel Child Development Center, James Denman Middle School, and the larger community. The future landscape will include a Monarch Butterfly Meadow, Multicultural Play Huts, Native Urban Forest, Riparian Habitats, and much more.
