Due
to the visionary nature of this exhibit the Grassroots Art Center will
also highlight futuristic self-taught art environments in the U.S.
Also, it examines how the idea of progress toward "the
future" has affected our values, attitudes, and public issues,
and invites people to talk about their dreams for the future of their
own community.
