ART - Why We Do It - A Celebration

Inviting visual artists who paint, draw or sculpt to call in or send a written comment to be read aloud, stating their reasons on why they make works of art.

Or are we exploring our own psyche in order to know the collective unconscious? Today we will look in depth at some of the reasons why artists create their works. Let this be a day when we recognize one another and celebrate our commitment and intention (and reckless bravery!)
