What is a home without a sense of community? Community is where we foster ideas, where we hold each other down when things go astray, where we choose our family, and where we co-create a space of love and security. Community will look different for all of us, but we all need it to thrive. While there’s so much we’re able to accomplish on our own, it’s because of our communities we go far. I find my community in creative spaces - places where the arts take precedent. If it weren’t for the creative communities I’ve been a part of over the years and the creative spaces I currently I find myself in, I’d be on a totally different path all together. I have community to thank for my livelihood and for my mindset. The #belocalchallenge is a celebration of what it means to be community. I challenge YOU to share what’s good in your’s...to share what makes your community an essential part of you. To share that joy, use the hashtag: #belocalchallenge Journey onward, friends...
