How do other artists and the art community affect your artistic spirit? Do you get together for coffee and discuss art with fellow artists? Do you paint or throw some clay with a few friends?

Creating or joining an art community can help you develop your artistic path.

Here are a few ideas:

* Share ideas and concepts with other artists
* Start a critique or support group
* Set up workshops
* Visit galleries or attend art receptions
* Join an art collective or guild

It would be difficult to imagine art without community involvement. Please share your experiences about participating in or creating an art community.

I find being part of an art community essential to growth, well-being and professionalism. It is also just plain fun to be with others who share an interest in art and exchange ideas and opinions.

Thanks for writing about your experience in connecting with other artists and the art community. Classes or open studio time is also helpful and generates discussion about artistic growth.

All wonderful ideas. Of all suggestions listed, my only community is attending the monthly meetings of our local art guild...which is better than nothing. I would like to be more involved in community activities.

Hey Maureen,

It's a start. You can always start an art discussion or critique group. You can demo your art at The Drawing Board when they have a slot available. Just a few ideas.
