Sabrina Artel's Trailer Talk is combination live performance, community event, and radio broadcast based in the New York's Catskills region. With her vintage 1965 Beeline travel trailer, Sabrina Artel travels to festivals and events where she invites individuals to participate in what she calls a "public conversation" in a relaxed and comfortable setting. These conversations are broadcast live through speakers mounted outside the trailer and many interviews are later aired on public radio station Radio Catskill WJFF-FM where Sabrina is a regular producer. [1] The New York Times article A 1965 Trailer Goes on the Road, and Catskill Residents Go on the Air [2] described Sabrina Artel's Trailer Talk as "an unusual blend of theater, activism and broadcast journalism."

Contents

Although the conversation ranges widely from politics, arts and culture to the environment, agriculture, community development and recreation, Sabrina Artel's emphasis is consistently on localism and the contribution of individuals to their communities.

The "NEA Four", Karen Finley, Tim Miller, John Fleck, and Holly Hughes, were performance artists whose proposed grants from the United States government's National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) were vetoed by John Frohnmayer in June 1990. Grants were overtly vetoed on the basis of subject matter after the artists had successfully passed through a peer review process. John Fleck was vetoed for a performance comedy with a toilet prop. The artists won their case in court in 1993 and were awarded amounts equal to the grant money in question, though the case would make its way to the United States Supreme Court in National Endowment for the Arts v. Finley. In response, the NEA, under pressure from Congress, stopped funding individual artists.
