LATON LIVE! REUNION/REUNIÓN
2008-2009

Collaboration led by Suzanne Lacy

A small farming community in the San Joaquin Valley is the focus of a multidisciplinary art and design project developed by Otis College of Art and Design in Los Angeles.

Led by Suzanne Lacy, noted artist, author and Chair of the Otis Graduate Public Practice program, Otis students traveled to Laton in August 2008 to explore how art could support local agendas and contribute to the small and struggling rural community.
