Being undervalued as an artist in our community may have something to do with the fact that there are so many of us. We are art rich, and it would be nice if the community at large and the world at large came to a better understanding of us and what we offer toward a better world. <br /><br />We folk tend to arrive here, thinking the arts arrived with us. But we need to recognize that the arts came first. We have a rich legacy that must be understood and preserved. With that, our tiny boats will rise.Doug Stowehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13003845322415622289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34011427.post-12256557642773849482019-12-22T18:54:47.169-06:002019-12-22T18:54:47.169-06:00Thank you Doug for this, I am in agreement with yo...Thank you Doug for this, I am in agreement with you, as working artists Craig and I are sorely disappointed that in the 20 yrs of living here, we are still not recognized as the artists that we are in our own community.
