I come away from an encounter with the Alliance of Artists Communities with an enhanced appreciation for my colleagues. I have learned something; I have been challenged in my views; I have gained resolve to hone the efforts that further our mission; I have shared ideas with others. I have been reminded that my organization is not alone in its efforts to offer blessed sanctuary to the cultural flamekeepers among us. I carry a greater resolve that what we do matters. For this, the Alliance is essential.

It's All Connected: The Context of Place

How often has an artist at a residency felt that their work was deeply informed by and related to the ecology of that place? How about the local economy (such as it is)? How about the local cultural community (such as it is)?

Beyond that, how many artists have felt that they are bringing their home community (if they call one home) with them to inform their work or to relate to the work of the residency?
