It wasn't until I was editing the review Bobby DuPah of the show (Page 8, this issue) that I began to sense that there were some issues generated by this assortment of art work that the reviewer didn't address. My compulsion was to add these thoughts to the review. Since that Editorial Assistants isn't a very ethical practice, I decided to discuss them here. Judith Ann Moriarty, Mark Bucher This is the second year the mayor has invited artists to hang work throughout his suite of offices. This year he & Niccona Teichert asked a local photographer, Tom Bamberger, to select the work. The show was apparently put together quickly and Bamberger drew from those artists most familiar to him and most accessible. Our reviewer talks about Photo Editor whether he will be criticized for including too many photographs and mentions that it would be nice, next year, Francis Ford to include more experimental works, some additional sculpture and maybe a video. But, having taken in these art goods at a very crowded, name-tag-type invitational opening, what struck me as being missing was not one Design type or another of my peer's work, but the voice of distinct communities — diversity.

    II A BI-MONTHLY PUBLICATION OF THE ARTS Volume 6, Issue 1 Complimentary SEPTEMBER 15/DECEMBER 1,1991 AAA from the editor Editor-in-Chief When Art Muscle Magazine approached us here at The Milwaukee Times, we were not only intrigued but welcomed the opportunity to collaborate with the city's foremost publication of the arts. Being committed to all Debra Brehmer the positive aspects of the African American community, the editorial board at the Times felt a closer look at black art forms was warranted. Art Muscle remains the best vehicle with which to do something like this. Associate Editor Calendar Editor As art is a reflection of a particular culture, it is not only important, but interesting, to take a broad look at black Business Manager art in its various expressions. African American art is not as popular or publicized as mainstream art. This may Therese Gantz be because patronage of black art in the black community is not widespread, or because other communities are not particularly interested in understanding a different culture. We suspect a combination thereof. Associate Editor-Music Bobby DuPah And so, we were able to share our knowledge of art in the black community, and coupled with the expertise at Art Muscle, a happy union had been formed. During the course of our mutual brainstorming sessions, it dawned on both editorial boards that there is more to art in the African American community than meets the Editorial Assistants eye, and that one issue of Art Muscle might not cover black art in its entirety.
