Bringing the Arts to Our Communities

As a real estate marketer by day and a fine artist by night, I found this article on affordable housing for artists in New York interesting and thought provoking. While New York’s government has found a way to promote a thriving community by providing artists with affordable housing, the government in many places has little or no funding for the arts and many schools have cut back on arts education to the point of extinction. The arts are an important part of our communities. If we can’t rely on government programs or the public school system, then we have to take matters in our own hands.

As more and more developers are returning to a focus on community centric live-work neighborhoods, we should consider how to make the arts part of these communities.
