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.
