Short Poems, Thoughts And Messages For Chorus

In 2000, to celebrate the Family Housing Fund’s 20th Anniversary and to raise awareness of the great need for affordable housing in the Twin Cities metropolitan area, the Family Housing Fund sponsored “Home Sweet Home: An Affordable Housing Art Exhibit.” Five years later, a second exhibition--"Home Sweet Home Again"--kicked off the Fund’s 25th Anniversary celebrations. 

As a member of an amatuer radio documentary producers group at KFAI, as well as an employee of the McKnight Foundation, one of the event's sponsors, I felt an audio documentary would be a great way to share FHF's work with the public. And the challenge of making an audio documentary about an exhibition comprised mainly of visual art appealed to me.  I recorded, wrote, narrated and produced this short audio documentary for KFAI's Listening Lounge. Originally broadcast December 21, 2005.
