Connection is one of the keys to our very existence. Our ancestors survived because of their community bonds and a shared imperative to collect the resources that kept them safe and alive. Today, connection is just as important, albeit perhaps not in the sense of basic survival. But for artists, connections are often the key to advancing a career, making inroads into an art community, and even finding a market for their work.
