It brings people together through the sharing of ideas and emotions.

It helps us grow as individuals, communities, and societies by encouraging us to think creatively and explore new ideas.

"Art is dangerous, in the end, because it brings to consciousness the reality of the fiction of reality – that what we take to be reality is a work of art: the finest of the fine arts; the supreme fiction."                                                                                      - Donald Preziosi, Professor of Art History, UCLA
