Community Defined Yet Again

My work in defining community has increased ever since the day we added the tag line "Embracing Community Through Art" to the gallery website. Since that time I have had to ask myself again and again "what is community"? I realize more and more that community consists of everyone. I have a local community of neighbors, a community of friends and family, a political community, a community of social activism, a new community of artists and art patrons and a new found understanding of what this means. I have also found that sometimes community means something intangible - it is simply the connection that I feel to life and those surrounding me in many ways.
