This short transcript excerpt (from a YouTube video titled 'The power of building a community around your art') captures a conversational exchange about the value of artists cultivating their own communities. Speaker A names artist Susan Taylor Brown and notes her realization about the power of having an audience centered on her art. Speaker B emphasizes that a community signals which directions an artist is strong in and which directions audiences want them to pursue, and that the artist must be brave enough to follow that guidance.

There's a great artist by the name of Susan Taylor Brown who is in my community. We were having this conversation today, and she had a realization about how powerful it is to have her own community, her own audience that revolves around the art that she makes.
The nice thing about finally getting a community of your people is they tell you what direction you're strong in and what direction they want you to go in. And then it's up to you to be brave enough to say, okay, I'm willing to walk that path.
