The power of art is apparent in many, many forms.

Paintings, sculptures, books, architecture, music, acting, dance, fiber works, and so many other places. And within each of these, numerous genres, subgenres, themes, schools, types, variations, and more.

Art is the ultimate in human expression. Creations for beauty, thought, emotion, communication, revelation, revolution, and more.

We know vast swaths of human history — all around the world — from the art our predecessors left behind. From cave paintings to sculptures, frescos to mosaics, scrolls to leather-bound tomes, art provides history.

The power of art — whatever form it takes — is amazing. And yet — it’s often neglected for industry, athletics, commerce, and other notions.

Creating art is brave. Sharing it is even more courageous. But to make art is to fuel both yourself and others in all sorts of unexpected ways.

Art moves people

Have you ever watched a movie and teared up at the end? Experienced the same from a play, a book, or a painting that speaks to your soul? That’s just one aspect of the power of art.
