Mel Andringa's photostream  

Legion Arts is a non-profit arts organization. Its home base is CSPS, a century-old Czech meeting hall, where Legion Arts programs work in a variety of media.

In my role as Legion Arts' Director of Operations (1990 - date), I have taken hundreds of photos of the visual and perfoming artists whose work has been presented at CSPS.

Those pictures of the "Legion Artists" were photographed against the art that was in the CSPS galleries when the artists were here.

CSPS Hall, the Firehouse next door, our neighborhood - New Bohemia - and much of downtown Cedar Rapids, were flooded during June of 2008. There are many photos on this site documenting Legion Arts' recovery efforts.
