A creative blog by Arthur Kegerreis on The Whole 9

Arthur Kegerreis – aka Liberal Art, aka Himat Singh – is interested in way too many things, although curiosity has not killed this cat yet. In LA for 14 years now, he has lived in NYC; VT; Amherst, MA; Santa Fe; Madison, WI; and grew up on Long Island. Arthur has been a cabinetmaker, guitar maker, Kundalini Yoga Teacher, Pilates instructor, graphic designer, composer, and playwright, though he now spends most of his time taking photos, writing songs, making video art, and building websites. Having fought his night-owlish tendencies all his life, he is fascinated by the creative process, so jump in and talk shop into the wee hours…or not.

Creative Community and the Muse’s Call

I’ve been fascinated by community all my life. Perhaps it’s from growing up an only child. But the idealistic hippies on the streets of Santa Cruz and cooperative households in Madison, WI didn’t seem to have the thread of realistic grounded-ness that turned me on. So when I discovered the WELL and ECHO NYC twenty years ago, it seemed I found my tribe. Finally, a community where you didn’t have to wonder if the food you left in the fridge would still be there in the morning. Those connections have led to many long-term friendships. So imagine my delight at discovering the Whole9; an online community with a creative focus.

Creativity doesn’t happen in a vacuum. I suppose it can, but the fire tends to go out for me if there isn’t discourse, inspiration, mutual enthusiasm, friendly rivalry, and the support that happens when we discuss our ideals, process and craft with each other. So I’m here to share my journey with you, and hope you’ll share yours with me as I take in the sights and sounds I encounter.

So, how has your creative community of friends, rivals, and mentors affected your art? What sort of associations do you think might help it flourish? I’m eager to hear what you have to say.

    Arthur…welcome! It’s great to have someone who has such a strong belief in community join us. Community has been an amazing journey for me…and has provided the web on which I can crawl and bounce and create. Look forward to hearing what YOU have to say!
