CRAFT

CRAFT stands for the five territories of the community-based arts process:
C= Contact
- In the Holly Street efforts, it is important for my group to maintain a solid relationship with the family we are working with in order to create the best project possible. We have to cultivate trust, have mutual understanding, and be committed to working one another and the relationships we build.
R= Research
- This is a huge component of our project, for the foundation of our project will be focused on the information and data we gather. My group plans to interview the family and learn the history of the family in relation to Holly Street.
A= Action
- Our next step will be to take action on the research we collect. Our goal is to produce a work to benefit the family and the community within which they reside. Preservation of history is a key component in the documentation of our project.
F= Feedback
- The goal is to spread the concept of this new work, for Holly Street is experiencing much gentrification. We need to advocate for those who live in this community who want to be able to remain there.
T= Teaching
- I am learning many life skills throughout this class and I feel as though I have a better understanding of how communities operate on a global perspective. It is important for us to pass along our skills to others to continue to make an impact.
