A Community without Art is a Community without Heart
"So many times art is looked upon as a luxury and rarely recognized for its influences in all areas of life/society. In many indigenous cultures there were no words for art, yet there were multitudes of activities that provided interwoven services to their communities, from building shelters to creating songs to herald their accomplishments. Art has always been and should always be an important part of the development of a community." -Ta-coumba T. Aiken, People, Places, Connections Curator at Intermedia Arts
