here's the deal.
There's a church in CO Springs, Woodmen Valley Chapel, that's asked me to look at moving out there to head up their worship arts program. It would be a fairly cool mix of alot of the things that are important to me, but the driving question for me is this:
I know how to build a community of artists in a place like LA. Every spiritual community we've been a part of has been deeply tied to innovative artists who are daring, complex, and vibrant in their work.
What's the artistic community like in a place like the springs? I'm not talking about in the church, I'm talking in general. Are there groups of people doing interesting and creative things? Does the culture in general value innovate work? Or am I going to be eternally frustrated by trying to foster community among people who are nothing like me?
