The Data Expansion Program: Moving "Minority Art" into the Mainstream.
American Association of State Colleges and Universities, Washington, DC.; Massachusetts Coll. of Art, Boston.
The Massachusetts College of Art Data Expansion Program described in this report was developed to increase the representation of the art of non-white people in the fine arts curriculum. The project involved the location and purchase of appropriate books, slides and films; the development of a resource manual for faculty, listing such materials and personal and institutional resources; and assistance to faculty in using the materials. The project utilized the services of a consultant with particular expertise in African-American art. Project staff work with faculty to try to bring the work of non-white artists in the mainstream of the college curriculum. The resources gathered and the manual are valuable for special courses concentrating on African-American, Hispanic, Native American and Asian-American artists. A scholarly periodical for campus distribution is planned. Appended to the report are the original request for funding; purchase orders for books, slides and films; the summary report to the Board of Regents, a copy of a pilot project periodical, and a copy of the resource manual.
