“Art matters. It is not simply a leisure activity for the privileged or a hobby for the eccentric. It is a practical good for the world. The work of the artist is an expression of hope - it is homage to the value of human life, and it is vital to society. Art is a sacred expression of human creativity that shares the same ontological ground as all human work. Art, along with all work is the ordering of creation toward the intention of the creator.” WorldHumansArtMatterArtistValuesCreativityShareCreationExpressionActivityArt IsSacredIntentionCreatorPracticalsHuman LifeLeisureHobbiesPrivilegedEccentricHomageValue Of Human LifeLeisure Activities Author:Michael Gungor

The brushes aren't ours, nor the paint or canvas, but here they are in our hands, on loan.
