You might want to get in touch with Camelot Cohousing, in Massachusetts. 
The nucleus of the group, as I understand it, consisted of people who 
shared an interest in Society for Creative Anachronism--Renaissance 
Faire types, in other words. On a tour, I saw that one of the ways that 
shared interest expressed itself was in a sewing-room-on-steroids in 
their common house (think costume production). I don't know that they 
made that shared interest a formal requirement for homeownership though, 
nor how strong a theme that remains in the community. Worth asking 
about, perhaps.
