Because art allows us to imagine, create and do.

Art is all-encompassing form interwoven into our very existence, into every aspect of our lives; from the clothes we wear, the buildings we live in, the music we listen to and the books we read. It is all around us. It is everything we do.

Without art, we are not human. The ability to imagine and take that imagination and make it into a reality is one of the things that are really distinctive about us as humans.

Eleanor Davis - “why art?”

Whether it is painting, building aeroplanes, or figuring out how to make a paycheck last to the end of the month, it all stems from the same creative capacity. And there is no better way to flex that creativity muscle than to do art, be exposed to art and to think about art. — Augustin Fuentes

Art is an original gift, a connection that changes the recipient, a human ability to make a difference. Art isn’t a painting or even a poem, its something that any of us can do. If you interact with others, you have a platform that creates something new- something that changes everything. I call that art.

Art is the opposite of trigonometry. Art doesn’t follow instructions or a manual or a boss’s order. Instead, art is the very human act of creating the uncreated, of connecting with another person at a human level. — Seth Godin

So please make Art!

When?

The world needs more authentic artistic expressions from you, expressions from deep within. Expressions from the soul. What you do matters, not what you think, say or plan.

We are organizing TEDxEastLegon!!
