Why Does Art Matter?


In society there has always been a significant place for art. It is a reflection of the culture and community from which it comes. From cave drawings to contemporary digital art, it inspires change and challenges the norm, all the while bridging the gaps between different time periods and cultures. Words cannot express the same type of deep-felt emotions and vibrancy that a piece of artwork is capable of producing. What makes it special is that it captures those feelings in a distinct and different way for each person who views it. Art is a universal language that enhances our environment and encourages creativity and critical thinking to provide cultural traditions for future generations.
What would our world look like without all the enhancements from artwork in public places everywhere we look? They provide a window into our communities, each with such different social customs and character. We have museums, art galleries, cultural events, murals, sculptures, sidewalk markets, architecture, and urban landscapes. Everywhere we look there is some form of art to capture our attention and inspire us.
As our technology advances, the world of art continues to change. We now have virtual reality, digital art, and artificial intelligence, all embracing new forms of artistic connection. There are countless possibilities for creative expression.

Artwork Brings Imagination to Life
If you had to sit in a room with nothing but blank walls or stare into a dark tunnel would you be inspired? Since the dawn of time, the environment around us has wired the human brain to be inspired by what is all around us. It gives us the catalyst to appreciate and expand our imaginations and creativity. Art is an expression of our imaginations that is realized in a tangible form. It challenges our minds to think beyond what is familiar and obviously real – to “think outside the box”, so to speak, and as a result anything is possible. Since each of us has a unique and different outlook on our environment, we are surrounded by creative people who have pushed the boundaries of art and design. It creates a more colorful and innovative world in which to live.
Imagination increases our cognitive, creative and social skills. We explore our feelings and thoughts more in depth and we learn how to creatively solve problems. Children start from a very young age to learn this concept. Art is a genuine gift to the world which helps us to understand it and gives it meaning.
So, whatever type of artistic ability you have, continue to inspire people with your artwork. It plays a very vital role in our lives.
