A Brief Thought on Artistic Community

Recent events in my own life have reminded me of the importance of community between artists. It is all too easy to become insular, isolated, when living as an artist. Our work requires hours of solitary action, observation, and thought, but without creative interaction – between artists, and also between artists and the world at large – there is indeed a certain void in our lives.

  • “I get letters from people about my work. The thing that pleases me most is that my work touches their feelings. In fact, they don\'t talk about the paintings. They end up telling me the story of their life or how their father died.”
    ~ Andrew Wyeth
