A video documentary film inspired by Karl Linn, hosted by the Marysville Community Gardens Coalition, presented by Bill Maynard.

“A notable landscape architect, psychologist, and community activist, Karl Linn was the inspiration for A Lot in Common. For over forty years in cities around the country, he has created neighborhood commons like the one featured in the film, peaceful places in which neighbors can gather and build community. His many hours of interviews over the five years of production provide the backbone for the narrative of the documentary. Karl died peacefully at his home in Berkeley, California on February 3, 2005.”

Reception is at 5:30pm in the Yuba-Sutter Regional Arts Council gallery. Film begins at 6:15pm in the Lee Burrows Arts Center.
