Gitcher Art On

“The arts are not a way to make a living. They are a very human way of making life more bearable. Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow, for heaven’s sake. Sing in the shower. Dance to the radio. Tell stories. Write a poem to a friend, even a lousy poem. Do it as well as you possibly can. You will get an enormous reward. You will have created something.”

Kurt Vonnegut

Why Art Matters

For Ourselves

Art provides a unique outlet for people to express their thoughts, feelings, and experiences.  Art can connect people across different backgrounds and perspectives, helping to build community and understanding between individuals and cultures.

For Each Other

Art can change the way we see the world, challenging our viewpoints in ways that facts alone cannot. Art has the power to act as a catalyst for change by bringing attention to social issues and inspiring people to participate and act.

For Our Community

It serves as a way to understand and pass down culture and history, offering insight into the lives and perspectives of past and present societies. Art can connect people across different backgrounds and perspectives, helping to build community and understanding between individuals and cultures.
