Life as Art: The Amazing Story of Frank Moore

Our guests today are Linda and Mikee, and through their stories, an incredible performance artist named Frank Moore. Linda and Mikee share their experiences with Frank living and loving in the Bay Area in the ‘70s until Franks passing in 2013. Frank, an artist with Cerebral Palsy, led a life that would be impossible to fully describe in this introduction, so I will leave you to listen to Frank’s story told through his family of friends. Huge thank you to Linda and Mikee for taking the time to share their stories and their adventures with Frank at a time and in place where independent living thrived – Berkeley California, home to the country’s first Center for Independent Living.
