Three primary themes emerged during the course of Artists & Communities: Building Communities Through the Arts, Expanding Community Engagement Through the Arts, and Community Life. To ensure that each project truly reflected the community in which it was set, the participants themselves identified the issue most appropriate to their community and decided how to incorporate that issue into their residency activities. This website focuses on the theme of Community Life. The navigation bar will take you to project samples for each of the five subjects explored under the Community Life theme – and give you an inside look at the process in the words of the artists and host collaborators. For project samples related to Building Communities Through the Arts and Expanding Community Engagement Through the Arts, please Buy the Book. Artist: Sasha Bergmann Lichtenstein.
