I really do believe it!

I believe art can change the world and you should too. Art forces us to look at our selves: our greatest accomplishments and all of our shortcomings. Art can ask us to look deep inside and be critical. Art can ask us to challenge our belief structures and the belief structures of those around us. Art can make us laugh, cry, love, hate and feel all the emotions we are able to feel. Art can leave us cold or warm and fuzzy. Art can draw us in or push us away. Art can do all these things because we engage ourselves in a dialog with an object, a piece of dance, a painting. You the viewer must partake to complete it.

Imagine a world without art. Think really hard before you allow yourself to believe you can do so. It is not an enjoyable place to be.

Take a moment today to appreciate a piece of art, really look at it and find its meaning, find the passion the artist put into it. It will stay with you.
