CETA Artists Project

CCF Artists Project - Documentation Unit

The documentation unit was administered by the Foundation for the Community of Artists (FCA) a nonprofit cultural organization
that promoted artists' causes and published the Artworkers News (which became Art & Artists in 1983).
It functioned only during the first year of the CCF Artists Project (1978). Its three photographers were George Malave,
Blaise Tobia and Sarah Wells. Its three writers were Jackie Austin, Nancy Stevens and Judd Tully.
Its coordinator and archivist was Ellin Burke.

Several photographs by each documentation unit photographer are included in the sets taken from the CCF Artists Project book.
This page presents additional photos from the unit's archives.
