Creativity has been defined by many, many people in different ways, and it is appreciated through various forms out in the world. Responses from the outside world are reminders of growing interest in the arts, but it is introductions that then become long-term working partnerships (like the ones Gary Lichtenstein has built) or friendships that have lead artists to share more with the outside world. With growing public interest in contemporary art, communities are even more important for reaching people—the Brooklyn Rail ’s Critic’s Page is an example of the art world’s dedication to making sure that artist communities remain sustainable.
