The arts provide an unequaled space of freedom, pleasure, safety, relaxation and honesty in which we may shape the unknown, broaden and sharpen the known, and unfold more mindfully. At any given time, whom every we are, while our defense mechanism may “push in”, art may “elicit out”, and it is this poetic and organic dance that makes us humanly, who we are. Making art is far from being a luxury if our goal is to empower all members of society. Art teaches us how to survive and live with one another.
