IMPLICATIONS: social

Chicano Art isn't on the level of the general public

because of failure of institutions to teach the relevance of chicano culture

because of ethical numbness on the part of the populace to the needs of minorities

It becomes apparent that no nation or racial culture can exist without the spiritual benefit of it's own SPECIALIZED ART.

Artists have a duty to try to bring about an ISOSTASY of:

ARTISTIC REALITY

CULTURAL NEEDS

RESULTS: the public can benefit and be enriched by the chicano artists' iconic contributions to society

ARTISTS PRODUCE ICONS FOR CULTURAL ATHEISTS
AND BY DOING SO, OPEN UP THE AMERICAN EXPERIENCE TO INCLUDE THE SUM TOTAL OF ALL ITS PARTS
