Coming in
September - October  2008:

IMAGINATION 

In support of this year’s Spirit & Place Festival theme, we’ll explore imagination: Where does it reside? Who or what cultivates it? When are boundaries appropriate? What is needed to unleash public imagination in ways that benefit our communities’ economic, social and cultural health? (Spirit & Place will be held Nov. 1–14, in Indianapolis.) 

Everything you can imagine is real.
(Pablo Picasso, Spanish painter and sculptor)

Sometimes questions are more important than answers.
(Nancy Willard, American poet and writer)

Without this playing with fantasy no creative work has ever yet come to birth. The debt we own to the play of the imagination is incalculable.
(Carl G. Jung, Swiss psychologist and psychiatrist)

Deadline for the
September - October  issue is August 10.
