Of course, there are differences, as well. Not all artistic endeavors intend for obvious community benefits, nor do all community service activities include artistic qualities or pursuits. However, for those who are working in the overlapping areas between art and community service, there is a need to learn more. The AC3=∞ (IN SHORT, AC3) PROJECT attempts to address this need.
