The need for community coming together in dialogue (I really didn't think of this but) is really important because sometimes people aren't even aware of it [the need to intergrate artists in the process of community developement.] People need to hear that there are people fighting there for their needs. Once that happens we're/you're part of what I call an inclusive community.

You can't have one without the other. I mean artists can go out and do their work and show it to different people but its like... if... you're saying you're doing this for the community and be a reflection (of the community) we also want you to be present for us.

But...I just realized how much maybe this need for town meetings is so important and to have these issues come out so they don't you know... Some of them are very hot but some of them are just (about) coming together and hearing the needs of each other. And maybe artists want to hear what you want to see.
