Artists

We don’t really need artwork, music or any theatrical productions do we???

Or do we???

Not that long ago many schools were attempting to ‘cut costs’ and eliminate ‘non-essential’ classes from the curriculums…endeavoring to push math, english and science. That’d be no fun to go to school and never have an art class, band or choir. Those were some of my favorite classes!

We need our artists…everyone of them in whatever category they do art…designing a beautiful building, a landscape, a new interior for the library, fresh songs to listen to and sing along, pictures to hang on the wall, artistic sidewalk and brick alley walls painted downtown to brighten things up. Art talks from one person to another many times in non-verbal ways.

Nature is God’s art. That’s where we get many ideas for art from…the colorful sunset, the tall sharp mountain peaks, snowy rivers and icy streams, beautiful birds and butterflies and an abundance of flora and fauna.

Watching and tending a plant is a form of art. Baking and frosting a cake for your family is art. Whistling or singing a happy tune is art. We are made to make and do art and share it with others.

We need art, we need to support artists who bring joy and thoughtfulness into our lives.

We need to support our own individual art and not quench it thinking we don’t have anything of value. A tiny space needs only a tiny picture, and if only large ones are painted or thought important, the tiny space will remain empty and undecorated.

Don’t underestimate the value of your or another’s art. Use it to benefit others and provide for you. We need it. We need your work.

We want to see your art!
