Story Days was a public art project that invited people to work with writers and performers to explore the meaning of place in their community.
ASU students and faculty worked closely with 7th and 8th grade students at Dunbar Elementary School for the Music in the Landscape component of the project.
This project was conceptualized by Professor Alberto Rios, funded by the National Endowment for the Arts Our Town Grant, City of Phoenix Office of Arts Culture Public Art Program, Library Capital Program, and Water Capital Program.
