We are often asked why we think artists, their skills and their ideas are so important.
We like to answer with an exercise: imagine the world without art.
The furniture you are sitting on does not exist.
Neither does your house, or your office.
Your clothing - unless you are currently wearing fig leaves - is no longer there, either.
Oops.
Skyscrapers, cars, the symphony, break dancing, hairstyles, jazz bands, wallpaper, novels, make-up, hip-hop, cathedrals, temples, mosques, marketing material, fashion, religious icons, poetry, websites, architecture - how many extinct cultures do we know only from what their artisans left behind?
Can you think of anything that has been truly untouched by art?
We believe that art can be used to change the world.
Why?
Because it always has.
Beyond simply making the pretty pictures that hang on your walls, it has been the artistic minds throughout history that have most reflected and shaped their cultures. There is no greater tool of communication than art.
It is art that inspires people, opening their minds to the fullness that lies in possibility.
