Project '70 encouraged artists to work with community groups on projects, even offering to suggest communities to those who knew of none. Muralist Harry Freeman and photographer Wendy Snyder worked with a South Boston group to place a psychedelic mural and a photo exhibit on the clapboard side of the Church of Our Savior. And they say that "Art Etc. for Southie" represents "an attempt to bring the power of art into the streets...
...most of white America, the black church is an alien segment of the nation's culture, hidden behind the plain facades of large brick city churches, the rude clapboard of country chapels, the salvation-emblazoned windows of tattered store fronts.

After noon, it got colder and the humor of the frustrating takes began to wilt. Phoebe, who had been talkative at first, started to withdraw from the group. She stood by the stop sign in silence, clutching her clapboard, waiting for each take to begin. As Tim put it, it was becoming a drag. But at 2 p.m., after 13 takes, the shot was over...
