Y...Thank you for this thought provoking post, Ruth! You are blessed to be in a place where people both value art and community in all its forms and are not held back by conventions of either, feeling free to explore beyond the accepted boundaries of art and neighborhood. Your place has a rich history and past of doing just that. I do not feel so blessed, unfortunately, finding that artists in my community create are very caught up in competition and monetization of their work. This makes it very difficult to transcend boundaries and build community--even among artists themselves. Revel in your blessings and grow this vision so that some day places like mine will appreciate the value of thinking of art and community in this way!Carol Hayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07810737504943090817noreply@blogger.com
