Sherriann Haggard. Charlett Lewis. Mario Jackson and H A Hagood, discussed the obstacles confronting African American artists and solu tions to correct these problems Each panelist agreed that as ar tists they must do more in an effort to make African Americans and the general public aware of the impor tance of Black artwork, do more networking among themselves, and establish a place where their art can be viewed. ' Before we can promote our work, we as African American ar fists must first educate our own people about the beauty of black art All too olten, when you look on the walls of many black homes, you w on't find African American art on them ," replied artist Sherriann Hag gard Haggard said it seems that every 10 to 20 years Black artists must prove the meaning of their art "Unless there is blood in our art, we must explain its meaning," she said. All five panel members said that it was difficult for them to promote and sell their work in Oregon They blame this on racism, lack of public awareness to the importance of Black art, and the geographic loca tion of Oregon. "It's very difficult for an African American artist to work in Portland I've worked in Chicago, New York and San Fran cisco The resources access to things artists need to be successful come so much easier This is not the case here in Portland." Isaac Shamsud Din said Shamsud Dm and the other ar tists said in order to correct the problem, they must control their own market and attend art commis sron meetings to see what the com mission is doing to promote and ad dress the issues confronting Afri can American artists in Portland. He said that the State of Oregon is almost at the bottom of the list when it comes to funding Black art "Funding for Black art projects in this state over the last decade has been less than 1 percent. There is no committment in the state for Black art " Lewis said that since Reagan took office, federal funding for the arts has decreased dramatically. "This has had a negative impact on the ability of African American artists to w ork,” said Lewis The artists said that it's crucial they make an all out effort to get an art cultural center in the commu nrty They said an art center could assist the Black community and the general public on the value of Afri can American artwork serve as a place where African American ar lists could show lht*ir work and a place where African American ar lists could meet and discuss issues related to their crafts Besides the forum, the artists also sponsored an exhibit and auction D u ring the eve nt, local artists dis played and sold then w o rk to the pu blic S ha m sud Dtn said d ie pub lie s re a ctio n to the e xh ib it and auc tio n w as great "T h e pe op le w h o carne w ere very in te re ste d in the exh ib it They asked q u e stio n s a b o u t the a rtw o rk and had a g o od dialogue w ith the a ,tists s u d D m s a id th e y St iam p i.i.u . . 1 on h a v in g m o re sur h e«h>Hi-. tio n s in th e near tu tu re T he lo r u n i a n d th e e x h ib it a n d am tu rn w a s s p o n s o re d by S ll.ll A rts O m b u d s m a n I ’ n . . t and ASSESSM ENT A LLER G Y T E S T IN G A N D C L IN IC A L EC O LO G Y A N O T A S T IN G in D ie V G Y N E C O L O G IC E X A M S A N D W O M E N S H E A L T H CARE N U T R IT IO N A L A N O D IE T A R Y PM YSIO TM E R A P Y G E R IA T R IC S C O U N SEL IN G B O T A N IC A L M E O IC IN E C H IL D R E N S M E O IC IN E HOM EOPATHY S C H O O L A N O J O B P H Y S IC A L S PRENATAL A N O H Y D R O IH E R A PY P O S T N A T A L C AR E D ie M e tr o p o lita n A i t s ( a n n e What kind of car do you want?
