Art Matters

Most of us who are busy with our lives don’t even consider art, or what art does to our lives. But I do. And that is why I am starting this blog. In working with artists, I have come to the realization that there are two kinds of creatives: those who are consumed by their work, and those who like what they do. The consumers will do their art just because, and the doers are people like me who have excuses for not doing art–where’s the passion there?

Even though I fall into the second category, doesn’t mean I don’t care about art. I care. A lot. In fact, just because I won’t take the time to vent my creative juices, doesn’t mean I spend my time reading good books or watching the tube. Which is why I started this blog. Art matters.

I realize that a narrow portion of our population is interested in art enough to do it, or even to think about it. The vast majority of us just know when its there, and some of us actually appreciate the efforts the hard working creatives do to satisfy their inner selves.

So this blog is about the passionate ones. The ones who won’t stop. I will write about them, and what is happening in the art world around my part of the world, and in other parts, too.

I would like to hear from those who care, and want to contribute to this blog. There is a lot to discover. It’s going to be fun!
