Community is a broad term, but we apply it in a specific bandwidth, of individuals and organizations who expend prodigious effort and selfless commitment to make the place we live a better one.

Each week, we share a highlight from Nancy Bendtsen’s museum-quality collection of rare and unique design objects.
