Engaging the Community
Steve McGuire, Doug Allaire, Judy Polumbaum
Creation Tales

This hour-long program is the culmination of a project by Art Education professor Steve McGuire, Journalism professor Judy Polumbaum and College of Education education media consultant Doug Allaire.

The program features five individuals from the UI and the immediate community whose livelihoods incorporate a central focus on the arts and/or humanities. The intent was to use methods from journalism, oral history and storytelling to make these creative people's explanations and reflections about their own work accessible to the general public.

Creation Tales was funded by the University of Iowa Year of Arts and Humanities. For more information, including participant profiles, links to participants' works, and other resources go to the Creation Tales web site.
